South Africa’s 240MW Solar Giant Energized

Key Figures & Findings: The PV2 section of the Mooi 240 MW Solar PV Plant—the largest single-site solar power project in South Africa has successfully completed installation, commissioning, and was energized. The project is being constructed by a consortium of China Energy Engineering Group International Group and China Gezhouba Group Company Limited.

 Statistics & Insights:

• Capacity: 240 MW total capacity, making it South Africa's largest single-site solar project.

• Timeline: The project commenced in March 2024.

• Project Status: The PV2 section is successfully energized, marking a significant step toward full operational power generation.

• Construction Breakdown: Work has been progressing simultaneously across three plant sections: PV1, PV2, and PV3.

Future Implications: The successful energization of the PV2 section signals that a major portion of this large-scale project is ready to begin feeding power into the grid. The project could significantly increase South Africa's solar capacity.
