Purpose of the Amended EIA Report Page ii PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KAI GARIB CSP TOWER PLANT (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS UPINGTON SOLAR THERMAL PLANT TWO), NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE Amended EIA Report September 2015 PURPOSE OF THE AMENDED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Kai Garib CSP (RF) (Pty) Ltd (applicant was Abengoa Solar Power South Africa (Pty) Ltd) is proposing the construction and operation of a commercial solar thermal electricity generating facility (using power tower technology) and associated infrastructure near Upington, Northern Cape Province. The project is known as the Kai Garib CSP Tower Plant (previously referred to as the Upington Solar Thermal Plant Two)1, and is one of three Abengoa Solar CSP facilities proposed to be established on Portion 3 of the farm McTaggarts Camp 453. The three Abengoa Solar facilities are as follows: » Khi Solar One Solar Thermal Plant (a 50MW power tower technology), which is currently under construction (planned commercial operation date is end-2015); » Proposed Upington Solar Thermal Plant Two (now officially called Kai Garib CSP Tower Plant) (up to 150MW using power tower technology), which is the subject of this EIA (DEA Ref Number 14/12/16/3/3/2/656); and » Proposed Upington Solar Thermal Plant Three (up to 125MW using trough plant technology), which is authorised (DEA Ref Number 14/12/16/3/3/2/657). Each project is located on a different area within Portion 3 of the Farm McTaggarts Camp 453, which lies approximately 20 km west of the town of Upington in the Northern Cape. It is the developer’s intention to the CSP Facility under the Department of Energy’s (DoE) Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement (REIPPP) Programme. The power generated from the CSP facility will be sold to Eskom through a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) and will feed into the national electricity grid. Ultimately, the project is intended to be a part of the renewable energy projects portfolio for South Africa. This EIA Report applies to the proposed Upington Solar Thermal Plant Two (i.e. now known as Kai Garib CSP Tower Plant) (DEA Reference Number: 14/12/16/3/3/2/656). It should be noted that the original project name (i.e. Upington Solar Thermal Plant Two) is still used in this report and the appendices. As the project has the potential to impact on the environment, an Environmental Impact Assessment process is required to be completed in support of an application for environmental authorisation. The Scoping Phase of the EIA process identified potential issues associated with the proposed project, and defined the extent of the studies required within the EIA Phase. The EIA Phase addresses that identified potential environmental impacts and benefits associated with all phases of the project including design, construction, operation and decommissioning and recommends appropriate mitigation measures for potentially significant environmental impacts. This amended final EIA report is submitted after taking account of feedback received from the Department of Environmental Affairs on the EIA report dated November 2014. This 1 Kai Garib CSP Tower Plant is now the project’s official name. Purpose of the Amended EIA Report Page iii PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KAI GARIB CSP TOWER PLANT (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS UPINGTON SOLAR THERMAL PLANT TWO), NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE Amended EIA Report September 2015 amended EIA report aims to provide the environmental authorities with sufficient information to make an informed decision regarding the proposed project. The EIA process for the Upington Solar Thermal Plant Two commenced in 2013. A draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report was released for public review in August/September 2014. The Final EIA report was submitted to DEA (dated November 2014), and in May 2015 DEA requested: » The EAP to amend the Final EIA report to address the requests for additional information and/or clarity, as per the DEA’s correspondence dated 14 May 2015. » Allow registered I&APS an opportunity to comment on the Amended EIA Report. » Resubmit the Amended EIA report, together with any comments received from registered I&APs, to the DEA within a period of six months for final decision-making. The Final EIA Report has been amended based on the request for clarification from the National Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) dated the 14 May 2014. The Table below provides a summary of the points of clarification from the DEA, and indicates how the information requested and/or amendments have been included in this Amended EIA Report. This Amended EIA Report provides clarification of all the issues raised by the DEA. In addition the following amendments to the project information have been made: a) A change to the project description, where the capacity of the facility has been changed from 125MW to 150MW. The change in the generating capacity the project would only change the generator to be used in the facility. There would be no change/increase in the development footprint of the facility, the height or nature of the infrastructure (i.e. tower and heliostats), the scope of the project and water volume required (remains at 400 000m3 per annum). b) A change to the project description, where the project name has been changed from Upington Solar Thermal Plant Two to Kai Garib CSP Tower Plant and the Applicant changed to Kai Garib CSP (RF) (Pty) Ltd. In terms of Regulation 56(2), this amended EIA Report has been made available to registered interested and affected parties for comment.

CSP has the potential to become a leading Renewable Energy Technology, as it is the only one inherently equipped with the facility for large-scale thermal energy storage for increased dispatchability. There are many studies that aim to determine the potential for CSP development in certain regions or countries. South Africa has a high solar irradiation resource by global standards, but few studies have been carried out to determine the potential for CSP. One such study was conducted in 2009, prior to any CSP plants having been built in South Africa.

  • Orange River Project
    ORANGE RIVER PROJECT: OvERVIEW South Africa NAMIBIA BOTSWANA Orange-Senqu River Basin Vanderkloof Dam LESOTHO Gariep Dam LOCATION SOUTH AFRICA The Orange River Project (ORP) is the largest scheme in the Orange–Senqu River basin, and includes the two largest dams in South Africa, the Gariep and Vanderkloof. They regulate flows to the Orange River and increase assurance of supply. DESCRIPTION Gariep and Vanderkloof dams were constructed as part of the project, and have a combined storage of 8,500 million m3. The ORP includes several sub-systems. The Orange–Riet Water Scheme.* The Orange–Fish Transfer Tunnel.* The Orange–Vaal Transfer Scheme.* Bloem Water: Pipeline network between Gariep Dam and the towns of Trompsburg, Springfontein and Philippolis. Irrigation abstractions: Between Gariep Dam and downstream of Vanderkloof Dam, up to the confluence of the Vaal and Orange rivers (near the town of Marksdrift). Urban and industrial abstractions: Between Gariep Dam and Marksdrift (including Hopetown and Vanderkloof towns). Support to the Lower Orange Water Management Area Schemes: * Support to most of the demands in the Gariep Dam (© Hendrik van den Berg/Panoramio.com) Lower Orange, including irrigation, urban use and power generation. Caledon–Bloemfontein Government Water Scheme.* * Further details are given on separate pages PURPOSE The purpose of this very complex scheme is to supply demands within several sub-systems, including the Upper and Lower Orange water management areas all the way down to the Orange River mouth, and the Eastern Cape Province. These demands include irrigation, urban, industrial and environmental water requirements. Power generation is also part of the system, including at Gariep and Vanderkloof dams, which contributes to the Eskom national power grid.
