Overview

The Khobab Wind Farm was contracted under the South African Government’s Round 3 Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme, achieving commercial operation in December 2017.

The site is adjacent to Lekela’s Loeriesfontein 2 wind farm and was chosen because of its strong wind resource and excellent backing from the local community and municipality.
