Absolutely amazing!!! Spectacular!! Was so amazed by this...did not know it excists. This should also be in the East and Western Cape. So so very proud!!

Awful sight. Looks like a second sun as you come driving from far away. You see it from more than 50km away. It kills 100s of birds in a year.

The first Tower Concentrated Solar Plant in South Africa. We should all be proud. Hope to see many more of these plants in SA.

More is better!

Africas first thermal solar power plant. Can supply solar energy 24 hours a day thanks to the technology used. It uses over 4000 mirrors that automatically rotate to reflect the suns rays to one point on the tower, where they heat up steam to over 500 ° C.

I’ve never seen such a shining tower. It’s spectacular, but it really affects the daily lives of people living around me. I’m thinking that there should be some people like me who don’t want to see him so dazzling.

A big thank you to Belgian know-how and to Cockerill !!!

It is the first solar thermal tower plant to be manufactured in South Africa. Spanish technology to supply electricity to the Upington area. Several Spanish companies have worked in it and are currently following other projects in the area and surroundings. During its construction, several accidents occurred, in which the fall of one of the tower cranes that participated in the project stands out.
