Notsi Solar Project

under construction

The Notsi solar photovoltaic project is a large-scale solar power facility with a generation capacity of 475 MWac (620 MWdc) located in the Free State, South Africa. The project spans around 1,000 hectares and includes more than 860,000 solar panels. It is planned as a standalone solar facility with future plans to integrate a battery energy storage system (BESS) to enhance grid stability and efficiency. The project has secured environmental approvals for the addition of battery storage and has achieved financial closure supported by long-term power purchase agreements with energy traders Discovery Green and NOA. Construction is assigned to a joint venture involving China Energy Engineering Corporation and the Northwest Electric Power Design Institute, with an expected construction duration of approximately 26 months. Anthem is also developing the Artemis Main Transmission Substation as part of the project, which will be transferred to Eskom later.
