Sustainable Solar technology
KS1 Intro
Karoshoek Solar One (RF) (Pty) Ltd (KS1) (The “Ilanga” project) is an independent solar power producer delivering an affordable and sustainable source of clean energy in South Africa. Solar technology allows the Ilanga 1 Project to produce energy without releasing carbon or other harmful emissions, a crucial part of any energy mix. Renewable energy combines the provision of power with positive social and environmental outcomes.
The company engaged in the development, construction, and operation of a 100MW Concentrated Solar Plant (CSP) located 30 km east of Upington, called the Ilangalethu Parabolic Trough Solar Project (“ The Ilanga 1 Project”).
The Ilanga 1 Project forms part of the South African Department of Energy’s “Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program” (REIPPP) and created employment for many people in the area. It has been recognised globally as one of the best government-led procurement programmes.
Completed and ready for operation on 30 November 2018, Ilanga 1 Project will provide power to South Africans for the next 20 years.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) data, South Africa has seen a significant increase in the installation of solar power since 2013.
There has been a net addition of 2,173MW of solar PV and a net addition of approximately 300MW from Concentrated Solar Plants (CSP) between 2014 and 2021, with the Ilanga 1 Project adding 100MW of clean power to the national grid.
Ilanga 1 is an essential step in South Africa’s energy future, procuring on-demand power from an efficient and accountable source with no resource risk and a controlled tariff.
