Gold fields tenders 40 MW PV with storage option – 150 MW more PV expected in neighborhood
The RFP is for a 40MW on-site PV system with optional energy storage for its South Deep gold mine in South Africa. South Deep needs 100 MW and Gold
Fields wants to cut exposure to the state utility ESKOM. Gold Fields has just the South Deep mine left in SA after having spun-off mines into Sibanye Gold. Now Sibanye has plans for a modular
150MW solar power plant, with the first 50MW due at the end of 2017. Sibanye would build the plant at its Driefontein mine, which is located near South Deep.
