The proposed construction and operation of a 13 MW solar photovoltaic power plant on farm Maxwell No.82 within the Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia. ISPS Solar Operations Namibia (Pty) Ltd (previously Mettle Solar Namibia Operations) proposes to construct and operate a 13 megawatts (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant on farm Maxwell No. 82 (Figure 1), which will be linked to the Eldorado substation and supply B2Gold (Otjikoto mine) with electricity through the Namibian Modified Single Buyer (MSB) framework. Listed activities triggered by the project include: Energy generation, transmission and storage activities (1.a) The construction of facilities for the generation of electricity; (1.b) The construction of facilities for the transmission and supply of electricity; A 13 MW solar PV power plant will be constructed and operated on-site. Waste management, treatment, handling and disposal activities (2.1) The construction of facilities for waste sites, treatment of waste and disposal of waste. (2.3) The import, processing, use and recycling, temporary storage, transit, or export of waste. Waste generated during the construction phase will be collected in a skip and disposed of at the nearest landfill site. Most of the waste will be recycled. Chemical toilets will be used during the construction phase and a septic tank will be installed and used on-site during the operational phase. Forestry activities (4.) The clearance of forest areas, deforestation, aforestation, timber harvesting or any other related activity that requires authorisation in term of the Forest Act, 2001 (Act No. 12 of 2001) or any other law. Vegetation will be cleared for the construction of the solar PV power plant andablution facilities, which will cover approximately 22 hectares. Water resource developments (8.1) The abstraction of ground or surface water for industrial or commercial purposes. Water will be abstracted for use on-site to operate the ablution facilities and maintenance cleaning during the operational phase. Hazardous substance treatment, handling and storage (9.2) Any process or activity which requires a permit, licence or other form of authorisation, or the modification of or changes to existing facilities for any process or activity which requires an amendment of an existing permit, licence or authorisation or which requires a new permit, licence or authorisation in terms of a law governing the generation or release of emissions, pollution, effluent, or waste. Chemical toilets will be used during the construction phase of the project. A septic tank will be installed and connected to the permanent ablution block to act as a sewage waste collection and treatment system.
