The Prieska–Total Solar Power Station, also Mulilo Prieska Solar Power Station, is an 86 megawatts

parastatal of South Africa. A 20-year power purchase agreement between Murillo Prieska PV and Eskom, governs the sale and purchase of electricity between the power station and the electric utility.^[1]

Location

The power station sits on 209 hectares (520 acres) approximately 59 kilometres (37 mi), southwest of the town of

Northern Cape Province of South Africa.^[1]^[2] The geographical coordinates of the solar farm are: 30°02'05.0"S, 22°18'53.0"E (Latitude:-30.034722; Longitude:22.314722).^[3]

Overview

The design calls or ground-mounted photo-voltaic cells, with capacity rating of 86 megawatts. However, the 20-year PPA between the parties calls for the supply and purchase of 75 megawatts. Eskom buys the energy and integrates it into the national South African grid.[1]

Ownership

The table below illustrates the shareholding in the SPV company that owns, operates and maintains the power station.^[1]^[4]
