Proposed Wind Monitoring Mast On Farm Standvastigheid Near Matjiesfontein, Northern Cape

African Infrastructure Investment Managers (Pty) Ltd (AIIM) proposes to erect one masts to record wind speed and direction data. The collection of wind data is part of a feasibility study to measure the wind potential (wind energy) of the farm Standvastigheid near Matjiesfontein, Northern Cape, for the future purpose of establishing a wind energy facility.

The mast would be a three-sided steel lattice structure approximately 80 m in height and 0.5 m wide. The mast would be anchored to the ground (in addition to a concrete foundation) with approximately 15 guy wires on three sides (five per side) of the mast.

AIIM appointed Aurecon (Pty) Ltd to undertake the requisite Basic Environmental Impact Assessment process, in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (No. 107 of 1998).

Current Project Phase

The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has issued a positive Environmental Authorisation with regards to the proposed project in terms of the National Environmental Management Act (Act No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA) Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulations (GN No. R385 of 21 April 2006). The Environmental Authorisation was issued on 18 August 2009 and it outlines the decision, the conditions of authorisation, reasons for the decision, recommendations, and the appeal process. The Environmental Authorisation is available for download below.
