The Letsatsi Power Project

The Letsatsi Power Project is a solar photovoltaic power generation plant that produces clean electrical energy using thousands of polycrystalline modules. It is essential for the economic growth and development of the region and greater South Africa.

The plant was constructed and commissioned in 18 months under an EPC contract. The operator has assumed the O&M contract since commercial operating date which includes operations, preventive and corrective maintenance over a fixed contract period.

RPB ETS and Rentech’s Edmund de Klerk, Edward Purcell and Jaco Weideman (at the time of construction being part of the team of RAM Electrical and Civil Contractors Pty Ltd, sub-contracting for RAUBEX Infrastructure) were involved in the contract management, site management and installation of the electrical infrastructure.

The electrical infrastructure involvement consists of the DC wiring and cabling from the PV Solar Panels and DC combiner boxes to the inverter stations as well as the 22 kV AC cable installation and termination in the inverter stations and main collector substation.

We completed the plant and were involved in the commissioning.
