Siemens to install 360 MW of onshore wind power in South Africa
20/02/2015
German engineering company Siemens has been awarded another significant
wind power contract, with an order for 157 wind turbines for three
projects in the South African province of Northern Cape. The customer is
a consortium led by Mainstream Renewable Power.
Under the deal, Siemens will deliver its 2.3MW wind turbines for the
Khobab, Loeriesfontein 2 and Noupoort wind projects. The contract also
includes a service and maintenance agreement for a period of 10 years.
Once put into operation, the three wind projects will be able to
generate 360MW of renewable power. The 140 MW Khobab wind farm and the
140 MW Loeriesfontein 2 wind farm, are both located in the Namakwa
District Municipality, and the 80 MW Noupoort wind farm is located in
Umsobomvu Local Municipality, 400 kilometers north of Port Elizabeth.
Siemens is expected to start turbine installations from August 2015.
Commissioning of the three projects is scheduled from early 2016 to the
end of 2017.
