Wind Prospect Africa will be monitoring wind statistics in Zambia with the supply and installation of wind monitoring equipment for the Kafue Gorge Regional Training Center. The project is aimed at developing one turbine wind farm.
Wind Prospect is currently seeking environmental approval for a met mast and is working with local suppliers to produce a feasibility study, assessing the wind resource and site viability.
The study will include grid, civils, environmental and commercial aspects and will make recommendations on next steps towards developing the wind farm.
Wind Prospect and Renewable NRG System have agreed on a MoU for the provision of the met mast. Stone Age Renewable will install the mast, which is scheduled for August.
Wind Prospect will also train Kafue Gorge staff in wind resource assessment and various aspects of wind farm development, construction and operation.
