Enel Green Power RSA (EGP RSA), has begun construction of its 140MW Nxuba wind farm in the Amatole District, South Africa. The construction of Nxuba, which is expected to be completed by September 2020, will involve an overall investment of more than € 200 million.
The wind farm will be supported by a 20-year power supply agreement with the South African energy utility Eskom, as part of the South African government’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) tender, which awarded in April 2015 a total of five wind projects for 700MW to the Enel Group in its fourth round.
