South Africa's Largest Single-Site PV Plant—Mooiplaats 240MW PV Plant's PV2 Zone Officially Energized

On October 28 local time, the PV2 field of the Mooiplaats 240 MW photovoltaic power station—South Africa's largest single-site solar plant—officially commenced operations. The project was constructed with participation from China Energy Engineering Group Gezhouba Power Company.

Located at the Mooiplaats Farm in South Africa's Northern Cape Province, the project primarily involved constructing a 240-megawatt photovoltaic power plant, building an accompanying step-up substation and a switchyard, and laying an 11.3-kilometer transmission line from the switchyard to the Koruson main substation.

Upon full operation, the project will generate approximately 360 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity annually. This will not only effectively alleviate South Africa's domestic power shortage but also significantly advance the transformation of the local energy and power structure, supporting the region's transition toward green and low-carbon development.
