Commercial Property for Sale in Kwamhlanga Rural

Property Details

234 Hectare prime development land for development of a 50-100 MW solar farm This land is located in central Mpumalanga to the south of Tweefontein and Samoroboro. On the western border of the site there is an Eskom high-voltage substation just off the gravel road that services the area. The proximity of the substation makes the site ideal for a photo-voltaic solar farm that can feed power directly back into the grid. High voltage and medium voltage power lines are linked to the substation. As seen from the aerial view, this part of the country is relatively arid providing maximum sun virtually every day of the year, therefore ideal for a solar farm. The property is also relatively flat with mostly grasses and minor vegetation making it easy for development. The total site area shown is around 234 Hectares (178 + 56 Hectares). The price shown is for the full 234 Hectares since both portions are on one title deed. In terms of the Thembisile Hani Land Use Scheme 2020 governing the area, “Renewable Energy” (which includes solar farms) is a land use than can be obtained with Special Consent on “agricultural” zoned properties. A consent application is in process to utilise the 178 Hectare area for a solar farm. This consent typically takes around 6 months to be approved. Coverage will be max 20% i.e. around 36 Hectares of solar panels where the intention would be to provide a 50-100 MW output solar farm. ** Purchase price shown excludes VAT (no transfer duty payable) **
