Proposed Development of the Vetlaagte infrastructure associated with the authorised PV Facilities near De Aar

Background
Vetlaagte Farm consists of 3x PV farms of which Environmental Authorisation was obtained in 2012/14
The 3x PV farms will each have a Switching Station as well as a grid connection connecting the PV farm to the new MTS
The new MTS will connect via Loop In Loop Out (LILO) power lines to an existing 400kV power line

Project components and areas for assessment
3x grid connections WITH A 200M CORRIDOR
3x switching stations (note that the Switching Stations fall within the 200m corridor)
Main Transmission Substation – note that there are two site alternatives within the assessment area. These alternative sites need to be assessed and other sites recommended should these sites not be suitable.
LILO lines to connect the MTS to the existing 400kV lines
The entire assessment area (as per info provided for quoting purposes) needs to be investigated and no go areas demarcated.

General
The grid connections connecting PV1 and PV2 are running adjacent to each other and to the direct east of an existing 132kV line (the existing line is in red in the map below)
The PV3 grid connection and switching station are situated within the assessment area.
