Overberg Wind Farm

Ambition is the name of the game – We are delighted to announce Financial Close for the first phase of the 380MW Overberg Wind Farm, which is to be the largest wind power plant in Southern Africa. The team at Veld conceptualized and developed the project, working closely with their development partners, and served as lead the leading party on project negotiations. We are very pleased to note that Red Rocket, one of South Africa’s leading independent power producers, has purchased the project, and will be building and operating the facility – we’ve greatly enjoyed working with the incredible Red Rocket team to bring this exceptional project to life.

Copperton Wind Farm

The 102 MW, 150 Million USD renewable energy facility, situated in the Northern Cape of South Africa, began commercial operation in December 2021. Nordex / Acciona will supply 34 AW125/3150 turbines to the project.

The team at VELD represent the original project developers. A special purpose investment vehicle set up by Veld has taken up shares in the project. We’re very proud to be able to partner with project leaders Elawan, and Pele Green Energy.

Project Footprint: 3100 Hectares.

Number of Turbines: 34 turbines, each with a hub height of 120M.

Power Output: 360GWh. Enough power for 110 000 households.

Carbon offset: 38,000 tonnes of annual CO2 Savings, when compared to coal power.

Water Savings: 2.5 Million Litres of Annual Water Savings.

We are unrolling a Gigawatt-scaled pipeline across South Africa.

The projects include:

250MW Solar PV Portfolio – fully developed Solar / BESS power plant portfolio.

1.5GW Wind Portfolio: Spread across South Africa.

We prefer to keep our portfolio smaller than our rivals, so keeping it streamlined and aggressive – we invest in only the most productive sites, and are actively developing projects for both the REIPPPP, and for private off-takers.

Our focus in on onshore wind, hybrid and solar plants
