Neptune-Vuyani 400kV line
The Vuyani-Neptune line which runs from Mthatha to East London forms part of the Greater East London Strengthening Scheme. It is one half of the Eros-Neptune 400kV Transmission Network that runs from KwaZulu-Natal to the Eastern Cape that will provide a ring feed when operating with the existing power network. This project is not only aimed at bolstering the capacity of the transmission network in the Eastern Cape, but will also benefit the surrounding rural areas.
Progress:
450/451 tower foundations have been cast.
430 towers have been erected – 95.3% of total towers.
147.205 km of phase and earth wire conductors have been regulated – 80% of total line length.
