Lekela, the renewable power generation company that delivers utility-scale projects across Africa, today celebrates a landmark moment as the first 20 turbines at West Bakr Wind farm have now been successfully synchronised, with the wind farm now providing power to the grid.
Lekela, the renewable power generation company that delivers utility-scale projects across Africa, has last week announced that its Perdekraal East wind farm in South Africa has successfully reached commercial operations. This makes it the first wind farm from Round 4 of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme to do so. Lekela’s first wind farm in South Africa, Noupoort, was likewise the first project from Round 3 to reach commercial operation, back in 2016.
Construction will shortly begin at Taiba N’Diaye to deliver 158.7MW of clean, reliable energy, increasing Senegal’s power generation by 15% / Lekela’s social investment programme in Senegal is also underway, with the project committing up to $20m towards creating sustainable livelihoods in the local community
