MILESTONE FOR SOUTH AFRICAN HYDROPOWER PROJECT

摘要

Tasmanian government-owned electricity generator Hydro Tasmania has announced its Neusberg project in South Africa has achieved full scale commercial operation. The Neusberg project is a run-of-river small hydropower project on the Orange River near Kakamas in the Northern Cape of South Africa. It is the first run-of-river hydropower scheme developed under the Republic of South Africa's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer's Programme (REIPPP) and will deliver 10MW of baseload power in the South African energy market, enough electricity for about 5000 households.
