Nordex Energy South Africa has successfully completed a second wind farm in the Eastern Cape. The Kouga Wind Farm has been connected to the country’s national grid and supplying 80 MW of green energy.
Kouga Wind Farm, which was one of the first projects selected in round one of the REIPPP, consists of 32x N90/2500 Nordex Wind Turbines on 80 meter high towers with an installed capacity of 80 MW and an expected annual energy output of 335 GWh.
Anne Henschel, Managing Director of Nordex South Africa says, “We are extremely proud of this accomplishment as it was a complex logistics process, supplying equipment from three different continents. Having installed, connected to the National Electricity Grid and safely operated the entire plant on time, after approximately 2 years of construction, is testament to Nordex’s reputation as quality turn-key execution partner of wind farm projects and manufacturer of wind turbines.”
