240126002724 - Proposed Construction and Operation of Renewable Energy Generation Facilities from Solar, Wind and Alkaline Electrolysis at Camp 12, Namib Desert, Erongo Region

Chiffon Trading (Pty) Ltd focuses on becoming an international player in the renewable energy generation, production and trading business. The investors/proprietaries intend to generate renewable energy from Solar, Wind and Alkaline Electrolysis in the Namib desert at Camp 12 in the Erongo Region. The electricity generated will be amongst others used for production facilities in Walvis Bay. Alkaline electrolysis is a process where hydrogen and oxygen in the water is split by electrical energy. The electrolysis requires huge amount of energy which will be produced by solar and wind energy. A solar and wind farm producing about 2.1 Gigawatt (GW) will be constructed. About 83% of the generated electricity will be used in the electrolysis plant while 17% will be used to power the desalination plant. A substation is a primary feature within any electrical grid. It enables electricity to be transmitted at different voltages, safely and effectively. In addition to the substation at the solar and wind farm, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will be constructed. The BESS is necessary to provide electricity during the night / when solar energy is weak.
