The Umsobomvu Wind Farm is part of the Koruson 2 cluster, alongside the Hartebeesthoek Wind Farm, and will soon deliver 295 MW of renewable energy. Powered by 50 Nordex N163/5.X turbines, these wind farms mark a critical step in South Africa’s renewable energy journey. With Nordex ensuring long-term maintenance over the next 20 years, we’re committed to building a sustainable future in partnership with Envusa Energy, EDF Renewables, and Anglo American. #construction #transportation #windenergy #windturbinegenerator #logistics #RenewableEnergy Robert Timmers David Moncasi Hortet Nordex Group Pablo Sueiras Blanco Envusa Energy South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA)

#Construction #ProjectNews The first of 1,425 keystones has been successfully cast at our custom-built concrete tower manufacturing facility, signaling a major step forward in the development of our Eastern Cape wind farm cluster located near the Impofu Dam. Key highlights: - Manufacturing facility located just 52 km from the wind farm site. - Precision casting processes ensure the quality of each 25-tonne keystone. - A vital contribution to South Africa’s renewable energy goals. This milestone marks only the beginning as production is set to ramp up significantly in the coming months! #WindFarm #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #OEM Robert Timmers Nordex Group Pablo Sueiras Blanco David Moncasi Hortet South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) Eastern Cape Development Corporation Eastern Cape Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism

Moving components as large as these is no easy feat. Our transportation operation, soon to peak at over 60 logistics specialists, is prepared for the challenges ahead. From escort requirements to navigating complex routes through the N9 and N10 highways, our team is committed to every detail, as each component's size and weight demand special considerations to ensure safe transit.

Logistics is a complex task, but thanks to early planning and specialist teams, the transportation of the nacelles, hubs, and drive trains for the Umsobomvu Wind Farm began ahead of schedule in mid-September. This timing helps us avoid logistical bottlenecks and ensure the components arrive safely before the busy holiday season. David Moncasi Hortet, our Head of Sales for Africa, emphasizes the importance of efficiency and adaptability. “Starting early is key to managing potential logistical challenges.” #Logistics #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #Construction #Transportation Robert Timmers Nordex Group Pablo Sueiras Blanco Envusa Energy South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA)

The transportation of essential wind turbine components to the Umsobomvu Wind Farm, located along the Eastern Cape and Northern Cape border, is in full swing. Covering a 550-kilometre route from the Port of Ngqura, our skilled logistics teams are moving 81-metre-long blades, tower sections, and other critical elements to the project site. This impressive logistical effort is a testament to our commitment to delivering sustainable energy solutions across South Africa. We’re grateful for the support of communities along the route as we work together to bring sustainable energy solutions to South Africa.

#GridAccess We recognize the urgent need for scalable solutions to address grid capacity constraints. The proposed curtailment framework is a vital step in enabling wind energy projects to connect to the grid swiftly, ensuring that the momentum of South Africa’s renewable energy transition continues. While long-term infrastructure development is underway, we believe this interim solution will help maximize the potential of wind energy, reducing the impact of energy shortages and moving the country closer to a sustainable energy future. #Sustainability #GridExpansion #WindPower #CurtailmentFramework #EnergyResilience #EnergyTransition Nordex Group Robert Timmers Enrique López Ponce David Moncasi Hortet South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) ELECTRICITY+CONTROL Crown Publications Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dZ6SNWSf

As South Africa plans to roll out 14,000 km of new power lines by 2032, interim measures like the curtailment framework are crucial. As a leading South African OEM we are fully behind this initiative, which will provide immediate relief to grid capacity constraints, helping the wind energy sector thrive as the country builds toward a robust, long-term grid solution. “With the curtailment framework in place, we can continue to support South Africa’s energy transition while ensuring that both public and private projects gain the access they need.” - David Moncasi Hortet Read more on RenewAfrica.Biz here: https://lnkd.in/eUEQ5KjJ #Sustainability #GridExpansion #WindPower #EnergyTransition Nordex Group Robert Timmers Enrique López Ponce South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) Kgosientsho Ramokgopa Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd
