The Seriti Wind Power Station is a 115 MW (154,000 hp) wind power plant under construction in South Africa. The power station is under development and is owned by Seriti Green Energy, the renewable energy subsidiary of the South African coal mining conglomerate, Seriti Resources. The power generated at this wind farm is intended for use by Seriti Resources in its coal mining operations in South Africa. The power will be transmitted from the wind farm to its destinations by Eskom, the South African electric utility company, under a "wheeling agreement".[1][2] When completed in 2025 as planned, this will be the largest grid-ready wind power station in South Africa to date.[3]
Location
The power station is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi), south of the Seriti Coal Mine in New Denmark, Lekwa Local Municipality, Gert Sibande District, Mpumalanga Province.[4] New Denmark is located approximately 162 kilometres (101 mi) southeast of Johannesburg, the financial capital of South Africa and the largest city in that country.[5]
Overview
The power station has a maximum generation capacity of 115 megawatts. The wind farm is owned by Seriti Green Energy a renewable energy subsidiary of the off-taker, Seriti Resources, a mining conglomerate active in mining coal, which is primarily sold to Eskom, for fueling its coal electricity plants. This power station represents the first phase of a 900 MW pipeline by Seriti Green Energy, of renewable energy power stations under development.[6]
Construction costs and funding
The construction budget is reported as US$234 million (ZAR:4.44 billion). Financing is provided by Standard Bank and Rand Merchant Bank.[7]
- Note: US$1 = ZAR:18.99 on 10 February 2024.
Other considerations
It is expected that the wind farm will provide 800 jobs during the construction phase.[7]
