Consultancy AmaranthCX has put together all available information on South Africa’s renewable energy projects on a platform called 1Map, including existing power stations and substations, transmission lines, environmental applications, strategic corridors and renewable energy development zones, farm boundaries and protected areas.

The information covers all 12 countries of the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP), incorporated on 1Map’s online, browser-based, cloud-hosted and multi-layer map.

The SAPP includes South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, eSwatini, Zambia, Angola, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and was established in 1995.

The consultancy says the information is particularly valuable for financiers, consultants, suppliers, investors and energy industry companies. The information is made available on a subscription basis.

AmaranthCX explains that, with the electrical power situation in Southern Africa becoming ever more topical, and the fact that the South African government has started deregulating its electrical market, information on new projects is being widely distributed.

However, the consultancy aims to pull all available information together and present it in an easily understandable manner.

The map includes the location of more than 750 power stations and advanced projects larger than 1 MW, all existing transmission lines and proposed new transmission lines and more than 3 100 substations of all kinds.

Amaranth will continuously update and improve the information on the map, in addition to other maps the consultancy has created, including a platinum group metal mines and projects map, and a chrome mining map.
