The northern part of the Polokwane CLN is mainly rural with a massive electrification programme and has two radial<br />
275kV lines from Witkop supplying Tabor and Spencer substations. It is proposed to establish a new MTS substation<br />
to the north of Tabor at a site yet to be determined by 2017.<br />
The projects in this scheme are as follows:<br />
• Tabor-Witkop 1st 400kV line 2012<br />
• Tabor 400/132kV substation (1x 500MVA transformer) 2012<br />
• Nzhelele 400/132kV substation north of Tabor 2016<br />
• Tabor-Nzhelele 1st 400kV line 2017<br />
• Medupi-Nzhelele 1st 400kV line 2017<br />
6.3.5 LOWVELD CLN<br />
The Lowveld CLN consists of Leseding, Foskor and Acornhoek MTS in the Steelpoort and Phalaborwa areas. Platinum<br />
group metals and rural electrification loads dominate this CLN.<br />
• 3rd Foskor 275/132kV 250MVA 275/132kV transformation 2014<br />
• New Acornhoek 2x 125MVA transformers 2014<br />
• 2nd Merensky-Foskor 275kV 150km line 2016<br />
A network diagram showing the major projects in the North Grid is shown in Figure 7-3-1 below. The HVDC lines are<br />
not indicated but they will run parallel to the two 765kV routes until the Selemo substation where they will by-pass<br />
and head into the Central and Eastern Grids.<br />
