The News release from Vestas Northern and Central Europe says
Enel Green Power has awarded Vestas an order for the 148 MW South African Oyster Bay project. It marks a very positive re-start of the South African wind market and follows a 294 MW order for two other projects in South Africa, taking Vestas’ total announced order intake from the latest auction to 441 MW.
The wind project is located in Oyster Bay in the Eastern Cape province and will host 41 V117-3.45 MW turbines delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode at a 91,5-meter hub height. Vestas Southern Africa will deliver local content and job creation by procuring locally produced towers, ensure skills development at project sites and support social economic development initiatives in the regions.
“The closing of auction round four is a significant milestone in the continuation of the renewable energy program in South Africa. It marks a very positive restart of the South African wind market, which holds great potential for future projects,” says Nils de Baar, President of Vestas Northern & Central Europe.
