H1 Holdings is a 35% shareholder in three new utility-scale solar PV projects near Upington in the Northern Cape. These plants, Dyasons Klip 1, Dyasons Klip 2 and Sirius Solar, (75MW each) will generate a total of 258MW at peak output.
The projects were contracted to Scatec Solar ASA by the Department of Energy in April 2018 under Round 4 of the REIPPP. The three plants are under construction and commercial operations is scheduled for the first and second quarters of 2020. On an annual basis the three plants are set to produce 650GWh of electricity and offset 550 000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The three projects will bring much needed job creation to the Northern Cape.
