Mulilo Newcastle Wind Power (Pty) Ltd (hereafter referred to as the “Applicant”) plans to develop the Mulilo grid connection in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal Province. The proposed Mulilo Newcastle Wind Power (MNWP) Grid Connection project includes a 132 kV onsite switching station and a single or double circuit 132 kV overhead transmission line with a total length of up to approximately 21 km (for the preferred alternative) connecting to an existing Substation near Newcastle. The proposed Mulilo Newcastle Wind Power Grid Connection and associated infrastructure is required to supplement the development of the authorised MNWP Wind Energy Facility (WEF) (DFFE Ref: 14/12/16/3/3/2/2457).
