Londolozi solar array

Londolozi (Pty) Ltd. intend to apply for environmental authorisation for the development of a 1MW solar array located in close proximity to its current operational footprint on the property Marthly Farm 258KU within the Londolozi Game Reserve, which is within the Sabi Sands Game Reserve in the Mpumalanga Province. The solar array will cover an area of 1ha and will be surrounded by constructed vegetated berms to hide the solar array and which will increase the development footprint to approximately 1.5ha. In addition to this will be the transmission infrastructure that will link the new solar array to the existing power grid on the property. There are three alternative sites that will be assessed for their suitability and the locality of these is indicated in the Background Information Document that has been uploaded. Earth works will be required to level the site and to provide material for the construction of the berms. These earth works will be equal to the 1ha extent of the solar array or less, depending on the exact topography of the preferred site. Vegetation from the site will be used to vegetate the berms.
