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 />
