Renewable-energy land-use applications for Groenkloof properties
A landowner or developer proposes solar, wind, storage or associated infrastructure.
Being in Groenkloof does not by itself decide whether renewable-energy land-use applications is needed or likely to succeed. The erf's zoning, title conditions, servitudes, previous approvals and the applicable City of Tshwane policies decide that, and they can differ between neighbouring stands.
