Land Available for Utility-Scale Wind & Solar Energy Development

A prime parcel of land of more than 3 000 Hectares in Northern Cape Province, South Africa is available for the development of a large-scale renewable energy project, suitable for utility-scale wind and/or solar photovoltaic (PV) installations.

The land is well positioned close to several mines and is ideal for providing behind-the-meter (BTM) electricity to these mines as off-takers.

The property offers Excellent Renewable Resource Potential, with strong solar irradiation and favourable wind conditions, making it ideal for long-term clean energy generation. The land is predominantly open and gently contoured, allowing for efficient layout of turbines, PV arrays, access roads, and supporting infrastructure.

Strategically positioned near existing grid infrastructure, enhancing the site’s viability for efficient and cost-effective power evacuation.
Strategically positioned between 2 Towns 35Km away from the furthest town and 26Km from the nearest town with suitable housing for project managers, lawyers, Environmental Specialists and all the workers for the renewable energy project on the grounds.

Key advantages include:
• Sufficient contiguous land area for large-scale development.
• Suitable topography for wind turbines and solar PV installations.
• PVOUT Estimated 5,407 Kwh/Kwp per day.
• Wind Speed Estimated 6,42 m/s at 150m Heigh.
• Peak wind speed time during the day from 0:00am to 24:00pm
• Proximity to existing Grid Infrastructure of Three (3) 132 Kv Lines on the Farm Connecting to 1 Substation on the ground and Three (3) about 1,3Km, 16,31Km and 14,10Km with the Substations sizes being (plus / minus) 80MVA (72MW).
• Low competing land-use constraints.
• Accessible via established road networks.
• Long-term lease or purchase options available.

The site is well-positioned for participation in national or private renewable energy procurement programmes and offers strong potential for long-term returns in the growing clean energy sector.

Ideal for:
Independent Power Producers (IPPs), renewable energy developers, utilities, and infrastructure investors seeking scalable wind and solar opportunities.

Wind Farms:
A. Wind Farms on Farmland
Wind farms allow for dual land use, typically with over 95% of the land remaining available for crops or grazing, while providing farmers with a stable, long-term income stream. While they offer financial stability against volatile agriculture markets, they require careful planning for access roads and, rarely, can cause minor, manageable disruptions to farming operations.
B. Alternative to Solar
Wind farms are generally better suited for continued, high-intensity farming compared to solar farms, which use more land per megawatt of capacity.
C. Key Benefits for Farmers
1. Alternative Income:
Landowners receive rental fees for turbines, which provide a reliable, consistent income source, often making the difference between keeping or losing a family farm.
2. Minimal Land Footprint:
Each turbine typically uses less than one acre, allowing farming and livestock grazing to continue right up to the base of the structure.
3. Coexistence:
Over 95% of the land in a wind farm project area remains fully available for agricultural production.
4. Resilience:
The income is not impacted by commodity prices or poor weather conditions.
Considerations and Challenges
D. Construction & Access:
Construction of access roads, foundations, and power lines may temporarily disrupt land use, though developers often commit to restoring the land to its original state.
E. Operational Impact:
While rare, large machinery may need to navigate around turbine bases.
F. Land Requirement:
Although the physical footprint is small, wind farms cover large geographical areas with significant spacing needed between turbines.
G. Visual/Noise Concerns:
Turbines can have a, sometimes, loud, and large-scale visual impact.

Hydro Project - South Africa:
The concrete-lined delivery tunnel system that brings water from the Lesotho Highlands Project to the Ash River in South Africa spans approximately 37 kilometers.

This underground system, part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP), transfers water through massive, reinforced concrete-lined tunnels, roughly 8 meters in diameter.

These tunnels are designed to handle massive volumes of water under gravity, connecting Lesotho to the Free State province in South Africa.

The main transfer tunnels, including sections feeding the Ash River outfall, utilize high-capacity tunnels, often reinforced with concrete rings to handle the water pressure and velocity.

Blue Canary Pty Ltd:
Blue Canary Pty Ltd is a specialized Land Acquisition Company based in South Africa providing Land Acquisition Services in South Africa and Southern Africa.

South Africa and Southern Africa have several opportunities to develop Hydroelectric Projects, as well as other Renewable Energy Projects.

Ash River Outflow:
The Ash River Outflow (also called Ash River Outfall) near Clarens is a powerful water release point forming part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project.
What is it?
It’s the point where water transferred from Lesotho through massive underground tunnels is released into the Ash River in South Africa. The water originates from the Katse Dam in Lesotho.
Why is it important?
Supplies water to Gauteng (Johannesburg & Pretoria region)
Major engineering achievement in Southern Africa
Helps stabilise South Africa’s water supply
Generates hydroelectric power in Lesotho.
