Located between Jeffreys Bay and Humansdorp in the Eastern Cape, the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm site spans 3700 hectares. The site’s optimal wind conditions, relatively flat topography, minimal environmental constraints and its close proximity to the 132 kV Eskom grid line, make it an ideal wind energy resource. Arising from the South African Government’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm signed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with Eskom as well as an Implementation Agreement with the Department of Energy.
The project reached Commercial Operations Date mid-2014, having started construction in December 2012. The wind farm supplies 460 000 MWh per year, enough clean, renewable electrical energy to meet the needs of 100 000 average South African households. The project effectively reduces annual carbon emissions by 420 000 tonnes and lifetime carbon emissions by 8 400 000
The Jasper PV Project is situated in the Northern Cape, east of Postmasburg in the Tsantsabane Local Municipal area. Blessed by an abundance of sunshine, resources and local and municipal stakeholder support, the site falls in the Northern Cape Solar Area and ideal to supply clean, renewable energy. The Jasper PV Plant comprises of 39 units of 2 MWac Ingeteam central inverter stations (each central inverter station consists of 2x 1 019 kW inverters* . WorleyParsons was appointed as Owners Engineer by Solar Reserve for the 96 MWac PV project.
The project was selected in the second round of the Renewable Energy Energy Independent Power Producers Programme (REIPPP), the brief was for the preliminary design, design review as well as project, management and construction supervision of the work by EPC Iberdrola – Group 5 Consortium during the course of the project. The Jasper Power Project was named the 2015 EMEA Best Renewable Energy Project of the Year (California, June 10, 2015).
EPCM Contract for a 100 MW Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant, with parabolic trough collector (PTC) technology with molten salts thermal energy storage (TES) system. The plant is located approximately 50 km North East of Pofadder in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. The plant uses PTC technology and works by tracking the sun from east to west, concentrating the direct irradiance and converting it into thermal energy.
The thermal energy is transferred through a closed Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) circuit to produce steam, which drives a 100 MW steam turbine. The electricity generated is transmitted through a high voltage substation and exported to the grid. The plant includes a thermal energy storage system that allows extending the electricity generation after sunset, the equivalent of 2.5 hours at nominal capacity.
The project developed Gas Extraction facilities to deliver methane gas from Lake Kivu and deliver it to on-shore facilities for processing and subsequent use in gas engines for power generation. The project comprised of:
