South African independent power producer (IPP) Anthem has begun construction on a 475MW solar PV project, the “largest” single-phase solar site in South Africa.
The Notsi project is located in South Africa’s central Free State province and began construction this week. It is contracted under long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) with energy trading firms Discovery Green and NOA. On Tuesday, the company announced it had reached financial close on the Notsi project. The funds were provided by Standard Bank, and Anthem said the site is valued at R9 billion (US$530,000).
