Chinese manufacturer Goldwind has secured a deal to supply 39 turbines to South Africa’s Overberg wind farm project, which is set to be one of the largest in the country. 

South African renewables developer Red Rocket has reached financial close on the project, which will eventually have a capacity of up to 380MW.

Goldwind will supply its 6.2MW medium-speed permanent magnet turbines for the first 242MW phase of the project.

It is due to be developed in two phases with Richards Bay Minerals (RBM), a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Group, securing the first 230MW of the total capacity.

Overberg is to be built in the Western Cape in the south-west of the country.
