ENERGY GENERATION, TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE ACTIVITIES (1.a) The construction of facilities for the generation of electricity; (1.b) The construction of facilities for the transmission and supply of electricity A solar PV power plant and associated infrastructure (Tracking System with RC Foundations, PV Solar arrays connected to inverters, cable trenches, building, small warehouse, fencing, Medium Voltage power lines, Low Voltage power lines, and Transformers) will be constructed and installed on-site and cater for a peak demand of 36 MW. • A 66kV overhead powerline (1.8 km in length) will be installed to a nearby substation. FORESTRY ACTIVITIES 4.) The clearance of forest areas, deforestation, a-forestation, timber harvesting or any other related activity that requires authorisation in term of the Forest Act, 2001 (Act No. 12 of 2001) or any other law. Vegetation will be cleared for the construction and installation of the solar PV power plant and ablution facilities (Toilet), which will include approximately 120 hectares HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE TREATMENT, HANDLING AND STORAGE 9.2) Any process or activity which requires a permit, licence or other form of authorisation, or the modification of or changes to existing facilities for any process or activity which requires an amendment of an existing permit, licence or authorisation or which requires a new permit, licence or authorisation in terms of a law governing the generation or release of emissions, pollution, effluent, or waste. A small septic tank will be installed for the permanent ablutions that will be constructed The Proponent, InnoSun Energy Holding (Pty) Ltd intends to construct and operate a 36 megawatts (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant on farm Osona Commonage No. 65 portion 82, which will be linked to a nearby NamPower substation. The solar plant and associated infrastructure will cover an area of approximately 120 ha. Scale and scope of activity: The solar PV plant will be installed within the boundaries of farm Osona Commonage No. 65 portion 82 as seen in figure 1. The extent of the solar PV power plant will cover approximately 120 ha and will involve the construction and operation of a PV solar plant.
