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.

The project has a total investment of 1.938 billion yuan and is equipped with 9 hours of molten salt heat storage. Once completed, CGN Solar Delingha 50MW parabolic trough CSP plant will be the first commercial parabolic trough project and the first operational demonstation CSP project in China.

  • Griqua Identity – and Often As Equally Contested - Is the Matter of Terminology
    INTRODUCTION Most scholars acknowledge that the origins of the Griqua people are rooted in the complex relationships between autochthonous KhoeSan, slaves, Africans and European settlers. Coupled with the intricacies that underpin the issue of Griqua identity – and often as equally contested - is the matter of terminology. Christopher Saunders and Nicholas Southey describe the Griquas as Pastoralists of Khoikhoi and mixed descent, initially known as Bastards or Basters, who left the Cape in the late 18th century under their first leader, Adam Kok 1 (c.1710- c.1795).1 They explain the name „bastards‟ as [The] term used in the 18th century for the offspring of mixed unions of whites with people of colour, most commonly Khoikhoi but also, less frequently, slaves.”2 Even in the context of post-apartheid South Africa, issues of identity and ethnicity continue to dominate the literature of the Griqua people. As the South African social anthropologist, Linda Waldman, writes: The Griqua comprise an extremely diverse category of South Africans. They are defined 3 neither by geographical boundaries nor by cultural practices. Waldman goes on to illustrate the complexities surrounding attempts to categorise the Griqua people by explaining how the Griqua have been described by some as a sub-category of the Coloured people,4 by others as either constituting a separate ethnic group,5 by others as not constituting a separate ethnic group6, and by still others as a nation.7 1 Christopher Saunders and Nicholas Southey, A dictionary of South African history.

INTRODUCTION An Environmental Management Framework includes a framework of spatially represented information connected to significant environmental (i.e. ecological, social and economic) parameters. It is one of the key instruments used in strategic environmental planning. In its formal context, the Environmental Management Framework that is adopted by the Minister or Member of the Executive Council will be taken into consideration when reviewing an application for environmental authorisation following the completion of an Environmental Impact Assessment, where the proposed development is contemplated within the areas to which the EMF applies The Frances Baard District Municipality identified the need to review its Environmental Management Framework that was developed in 2010.

This report relies on data solely obtained from the Private Participation in Infrastructure Database. The database records investment commitments for infrastructure projects in low- and middle-income countries globally, at the time of financial closure. Infrastructure refers to energy, transport, and water and sanitation projects serving the public, including natural gas transmission and distribution, but excluding oil and gas extraction. The PPI Database represents the best efforts of a research team to compile publicly available informa- tion, and should not be seen as a fully comprehensive resource.
