Ilangalethu Solar Power (Pty) Ltd is proposing to establish a commercial solar thermal plant, located approximately 30 km east of Upington. The proposed project will be referred to as Project Ilanga and will have a maximum generating capacity of 125 MW. It will be sited on one of several farm portions identified for the future proposed Karoshoek Solar Thermal Park, and will ultimately form part of that larger facility which will have a maximum generating capacity of 1 GW.
