GameChange Energy Completes Genius Tracker Commissioning at 283 MWp Mooi Plaats Solar Plant
GameChange Energy has completed commissioning of its Genius Tracker 1P system for the 283 MWp Mooi Plaats Solar PV Plant in South Africa, one of the country's largest single-site solar power projects. The plant, located near Noupoort in the Northern Cape, forms part of the Koruson 2 renewable energy cluster and was developed and constructed by Envusa Energy, the renewable energy joint venture between EDF Power Solutions and Anglo American, with CEEC and CGGC serving as EPC contractor. The project will supply renewable electricity to Anglo American's mining operations in South Africa, including Kumba Iron Ore, De Beers and Valterra Platinum, and is expected to generate nearly 360 million kWh of renewable electricity annually while supporting long-term reductions in Scope 2 emissions. During construction the project supported more than 1,600 jobs and included approximately R20 million in socio-economic development investment for surrounding communities. Vikas Bansal, CEO International at GameChange Energy, cited harsh Northern Cape conditions including high wind exposure, elevated temperatures and dusty conditions, and thanked CGGC, Envusa Energy and the broader project team, while Envusa Energy Head of Execution Hanli Smit noted the scale and execution complexity of the development.
