Msenge Emoyeni Wind Power Station

SummaryLocationOverviewConstruction and timeframeExternal links

The Msenge Emoyeni Wind Power Station is an operational 69 MW (93,000 hp) wind power plant in South Africa. The power station was developed by a consortium of international IPPs and financiers. Commercial operations started in October 2024. The energy generated at this wind farm is sold to Sasol, the South African energy conglomerate, under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). The power is transmitted ("wheeled") through the transmission network of Eskom
