SITE INFORMATION. General description The Xxxxx Power Station is situated approximately half way between Bethal and Ogies on the R545, being just over 30 km from each town and 10 km north-west of Kriel town. Xxxxx Power Station is situated in a summer rainfall area with an average annual precipitation of about 750 mm falling almost entirely during the months of October to April. The average rainfall per month generally exceeds 40 mm during this period, although drought periods do occur which can last for 20 days or longer.

This region has among the highest hail frequencies in South Africa; about 4 to 7 occurrences (depending mainly on altitude) may be expected annually. January is normally the hottest month with an average daily maximum temperature of 27°C with a mean daily temperature in winter being about 16°C. Winter average daily temperatures vary from 18, 5°C maximum to -1°C minimum. The extreme temperatures recorded range from 34, 7°C to minus 12, 4°C for the period 1920 - 1984.
