The first phase of the first South African wind farm operated by an independent power producer will be equipped with four 1.3MW wind turbines of the German wind turbine manufacturer Fuhrländer.
The supply contract for the wind farm in Darling (Western Cape/South Africa) has recently been signed by Joachim Fuhrländer, CEO of Fuhrländer AG, and Hermann Oelsner, CEO of Darling Wind Farm Pty Ltd, in Waigandshain/Germany. The construction work of the wind farm will still start within 2006 and the wind farm is expected to be in operation in July 2007.
