WIND GARDEN WIND FARM, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE
Project Name: Wind Garden Wind Farm, Eastern Cape Province
Applicant: Wind Garden (Pty) Ltd
Proposed Activity: The development of a wind farm with a contracted capacity of up to 264MW which will
include up to 47 wind turbines and associated infrastructure including and on-site switching station, collector
substation, 132kV power line, access roads (gravel in nature), concrete foundations and hardstands, laydown
areas, cabling to be laid underground where practical, temporary concrete batching plant, staff
accommodation, and operation and maintenance buildings.
Location: The project site is between Somerset East and Makhanda located, approximately 18km north-west
of Makhanda, within the Makana Local Municipality and the Sarah Baartman District Municipality in the
Eastern Cape Province. The site falls within Focus Area 3 of the Renewable Energy Development Zones (REDZ),
which is known as the Cookhouse REDZ.
Five (5) properties comprise the wind farm project site: Remaining Extent of Farm Brackkloof No 183, Portion 5
of Farm Hilton No 182, Portion 8 of Farm Hilton No 182, Portion 4 of Farm Vandermerweskraal No 132, Portion 1
of Farm Thursford No183.
Basic Assessment Process: In terms of Sections 24 and 24D of the National Environmental Management Act
(No 107 of 1998), as read with Government Notice R324 – R327, as amended, Environmental Authorisation is
required for the project. As the project site is located within a REDZ, a Basic Assessment (BA) process is required
to be undertaken in accordance with GNR114 (February 2018). Savannah Environmental is undertaking the
required environmental assessment and public participation process.

KENNISGEWING VAN ’N BASIESE EVALUERINGSPROSES
OPENBARE DEELNAMEPROSES
WIND GARDEN WINDPLAAS, OOS-KAAPPROVINSIE
Projeknaam: Wind Garden Windplaas, Oos-Kaapprovinsie
Applikant: Wind Garden (Edms.) Bpk.
Beoogde aktiwiteit: Die ontwikkeling van 'n windplaas met ’n gekontrakteerde vermoë van hoogstens
264 MW, wat tot 47 windturbines en verwante infrastruktuur sal insluit, met insluiting van ’n interne
skakelstasie, kollektorsubstasie, 132 kV kraglyn, toegangspaaie (gruis van aard), betonfondasies en
vasteblaaie, stapelwerfgebiede, kabels wat ondergronds gelê moet word waar prakties moontlik, tydelike
betonlotaanleg, personeelverblyf en bedryfs- en instandhoudingsgeboue.
Ligging: Die projekterrein is geleë tussen Somerset-Oos en Makhanda, sowat 18 km noordwes van
Makhanda in die Makana Plaaslike Munisipaliteit en die Sarah Baartman Distriksmunisipaliteit in die Oos-
Kaapprovinsie. Die terrein is in Fokusgebied 3 van die Hernubare Kragontwikkelingsones (REDZ), wat
bekendstaan as die Cookhouse REDZ.
Die windplaasprojek beslaan vyf (5) eiendomme: Restant van die plaas Brackkloof No. 183, Gedeelte 5 van
die plaas Hilton No. 182, Gedeelte 8 van die plaas Hilton No. 182, Gedeelte 4 van die plaas
Vandermerweskraal No. 132 en Gedeelte 1 van die plaas Thursford No. 183.
Basiese Evalueringsproses: Ingevolge Artikel 24 en 24D van die Nasionale Wet op Omgewingsbestuur (Wet
107 van 1998), saamgelees met Staatskennisgewing R324 tot R327, soos gewysig, moet ’n
Omgewingsmagtiging vir die projek onderneem word. Aangesien die projekterrein in ’n REDZ geleë is, moet
’n Basiese Evalueringsproses (BE) ingevolge Staatskennisgewing R114 (Februarie 2018) onderneem word.
Savannah Environmental onderneem die vereiste omgewingsevaluering en openbare deelnameproses.
