Nordex has confirmed its role in supplying 57 Nordex WTG Delta4000 series turbines for a R9 billion cluster of three wind farms in the Eastern Cape.
According to German-headquartered Nordex, this is reflected in the wind power sector with the turbine manufacturer announcing a 75% increase in its current generation capacity in operation as well as plans to locally manufacture concrete tower sections in the Eastern Cape Province, ushering in the creation of up to 300 jobs within the region.
The company points out that this follows closely on the heels of the financial closure of EDF Renewables’ Korosun 2 cluster, consisting of the Umsobomvu and Hartebeesthoek projects, in the Eastern and Western Cape, which comprises 50 Nordex 5.9MW turbines with a total capacity of 295MW. It adds that this facility, dedicated to fabricating the 120m high towers, is expected to begin operations by June 2024, with the initial turbine installations scheduled for the latter second half of 2024.
