Jeffreys Bay wind farm starts supplying electricity to Eskom
THE Jeffreys Bay wind farm announced in late January that ten of its wind turbines had been connected to State-owned power utility Eskom’s grid, supplying 23 MW.
“The project’s substation has been energised. This marks the first step towards supplying enough clean, renewable electricity to power more than 114 000 South African homes and avoid over 420 000 t of carbon emissions each year,” Jeffreys Bay wind farm GM Mark Pickering said.
Erection of Wind Turbines To date, 65% of the 138 MW project’s 60 wind turbines have been erected and the transportation programme, through which components were transported to the site from the Port of Ngqura, located 20 km from Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape, will soon draw to an end.
Meanwhile, the final turbine foundation base was completed during the first week of December, while the company also achieved one-million lost-time injury-free hours.
