1526 - Tetra4 Powerline BA and WUL

The applicant wishes to construct a new dedicated overhead powerline as part of the proposed Cluster 2 LNG/LHe Gas Production Plant expansion. A new 132 kV dual loop-in-loop-out powerline of approximately 5.5 km in length to the Theseus-Oryx 132 kV Line. The proposed powerline will feed into a new 40 MVA substation at the LNG/LHe Plant. In addition, the applicant also wishes to connect an existing compressor station to the existing 33 kV Beatrix powerline. The 33kV powerline will be approximately 1 km in length.

The proposed 132 kV line is located on, Mond van Doornrivier 38(RE), Kalkoenkrans 225(RE, 1, 2), Annex Glen Ross 562(RE, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and would run parallel to the R30 for most of the route. The proposed 33 kV line is located on, Palmietkuil 328(6). The site is approximately 11 km from Virginia at its nearest point.

The reason for this separate application to the Cluster 2 gas application is due to the requirements to hand over the powerline to Eskom on completion of construction.
