This Engineering News article reports that a 40MW wind power project is planned for development on a farm at Tsitsikamma in the Eastern Cape. Although the project is said to be at a 'very advanced stage' compared to other similar South African projects, the feasibility study, EIA, licensing, grid agreement and other paper work is still underway. The article goes on to say
"It was estimated that there were some 5 000 MW of wind power under development in South Africa, while the government had mandated the procurement of 400 MW of wind power by 2013."
