This site of global significance located about 50 kilometres north west of Johannesburg, occupies 53 000 hectares of land. Its complex of fossil-bearing caves contains a superbly preserved record of various stages in the evolution of humankind within the past 3.5 million years which have yielded some of the most iconic fossils of extinct ancient human ancestors and relatives, and associated fauna. These include “Mrs Ples”, “Little Foot”, Australopithecus sediba, and the latest groundbreaking discovery - Homo naledi. The COHWHS is an area of outstanding universal value. As Gauteng’s only World Heritage Site, and a premier tourism destination, the site is based on the conservation, exploration and interpretation of the story of humanity and its brand value encompasses ancient history, human beginnings, adventure, discovery and a whole lot more. ________________________________ ________________________________ 1a.

  • Substation Draft Scoping Report for Eskom Website
    Anderson 400kV Substation 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Electricity Generation, Transmission and Distribution - Overview Electricity is generated, supplied and distributed by Eskom via a network called a “Grid”. The amount of electricity being fed into the grid must always match what the customers are taking out. The amount of electricity required by the customers varies not just from day to day, but from minute to minute. As electricity demand increases, and loads are connected, more power stations and associated substations and lines need to be built to meet the electricity demands. A diagram of the Eskom Supply Chain is provided in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Eskom Supply Chain Draft Scoping Report 21 Anderson 400kV Substation Eskom produces electricity at power stations. Most of the power stations in South Africa are located near coal mines in Mpumalanga and the Waterberg area in the Northern Province. The largest load centres are located are located in Gauteng, the Western Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal. After electricity is generated at the power station, it is sent from the power stations to the load centres via high voltage power lines. As electricity leaves the power station, the electricity is boosted by a step-up transformer to voltages such as 400kV, 275kV and 132kV. Electricity is “stepped down” to voltages used for distribution to customers. 1.2 Background and Motivation: Anderson 400kV Substation The Medupi integration identified the need for the new 2 x Spitskop-Dinaledi 400kV lines to transmit power further into the grid beyond Spitskop. The Dinaledi Main Transmission Substation (MTS) is the main node to link the Waterberg generation and the Mpumalanga pools.
