Description
Description | The Mooi Plaats Solar PV Project is a 240 MW solar photovoltaic facility located near Noupoort on the border of the Northern Cape and Eastern Cape provinces in South Africa. It is the largest single site solar power plant in the country and forms part of the Koruson 2 cluster, a renewable energy development led by Envusa Energy, a joint venture between Anglo American and EDF Renewables. The plant is equipped with 416,324 bifacial photovoltaic modules mounted on a single axis tracker system and supported by 943 string inverters. It is expected to generate approximately 360 million kWh of renewable electricity annually, supplied to Anglo American’s South African mining operations under a 20-year off-taker agreement. The project includes local black owned independent power producer Pele Green Energy holding a 20% equity stake and a community trust for local economic participation. |
