The independent power producer CENNERGI has placed an order with Nordex for the delivery and turnkey installation of the 134.4 MW Amakhala Emoyeni wind farm.
CENNERGI’s principal shareholders are the South African mining group EXXARO Resources and India’s Tata Power. Nordex is to start construction work for the complete infrastructure of the wind farm at the site south of Bedford in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province in the third quarter of 2014. Installation of the 56 N117/2400 turbines is due to follow in the second quarter of 2015. After completion of work connecting it to the grid, the handover of the wind farm is scheduled for June 2016. The scope of supply also includes a service agreement for a period of ten years initially.
