Belgian company Sarens transported, lifted and placed the 70 turbines that make up the Karosa and Soetwater wind farms. renewables power GreenEnergy

Belgian multinational company Sarens has played a critical role in installing 70 turbines at two wind farms in SA, as the country makes moves to add renewable energy sources to the grid.

When completed, these wind farms will produce 280 000kW of energy for the country, which, according to the United Nations Development Programme, would provide energy for 1 534 families in the region per year. The wind farms will be supported by a 20-year power supply agreement with Eskom, in line with government’s independent power producer programme.

The complexity of the journey lies in the amount of machinery transported; nevertheless, the result was a success, by using nine additional trucks to transport the AC500 crane, says the company.
