Energy infrastructure project delivery company OptiPower, which is a trading division of engineering and contracting company Murray & Roberts (M&R), has, in a joint venture (JV) with Spanish energy and water utility Coxabengoa, been awarded a contract to build a 100 MW solar PV plant for an unnamed mining company with operations in South Africa's North West province.

The contract is valued at about R1.2-billion, with OptiPower’s share in the JV being 50%, M&R says.

The scope of work includes the construction and installation of free-issue PV modules, trackers and inverters and the procurement, construction and installation of main transformers, and associated infrastructure for substations and overhead power lines.

OptiPower provides engineering, procurement and construction solutions for high- and medium-voltage power lines, high- and medium-voltage substations, and electrical balance of plant scopes of work for renewable-energy projects.

Coxabengoa is a Spanish energy infrastructure developer with a presence in 30 countries.
