4. Stortemelk Hydro power station

Address:Unnamed Road, South Africa

Plus code: H99M+QV Clarens, South Africa

The Stortemelk hydro power plant has been developed as a greenfield project by REH Project Development (formerly NuPlanet Project Development). The plant has an installed capacity of 4.5 MW and operates as a run-of-river power station with an annual output of 28GWh.

A single vertical Kaplan turbine is installed in a powerhouse alongside the existing Botterkloof Dam, situated on the As river in the Free State province of South Africa. The design provides a compact solution for the turbine, optimising the short penstock route while avoiding any adverse impact on existing structures, as the power station has to be constructed between two existing dams without affecting their operations and stability.

Tel:+263772425615

Plus code: JW34+RR Honde Valley, Zimbabwe

Nyangani Renewable Energy (Pvt) Ltd, based in Harare, develops both small run of river hydro electric power schemes and solar power schemes to deliver electricity into the Zimbabwe and Malawi national grids.

The hydro electric schemes are on the rivers flowing from the Nyangani Massif in eastern Zimbabwe and from Mount Mulanje in Malawi. The schemes are all designed to:

  • Have a high head and low volume of water
  • Have a very low environmental impact as there is no water storage through the building of dams
  • Operate at between 30 – 40% of their maximum installed capacity
  • Connect directly into the national grid with the sole buyer of electricity being the grid operator.
