Renewable energy producer African Clean Energy Developments (ACED) has ordered 144 MW worth of wind turbines from Vestas for theKhangela Emoyeni wind farm in the Western Cape.
The contract includes the supply and installation of 32 V163-4.5 MW wind turbines and a 10-year maintenance and service agreement. The turbines are expected to be delivered in the first half of 2025, with commissioning planned for the first half of 2026.
The order follows ACEDs 144 MW order in June for the Umsinde Emoyeni wind farm, also located in the Western Cape
ACED and African Infrastructure Investment Managers have a relationship with Vestas, which goes back to the beginning of the wind energy industry in South Africa in 2011. We are very pleased to be placing yet another order with Vestas, in service of our off-taker Rio Tinto, our shareholders and the communities around our project, said Sam Cook , ACEDs Project Manager of Procurement and Construction.
