In big logistical effort, turbine components begin Loeriesfontein journey

The first of 1 098 wind turbine components are en route from the deepwater Port of Ngqura, 20 km north-east of Port Elizabeth, to Loeriesfontein, in the Northern Cape, which will soon become home to the largest expanse of wind turbines on the African continent, announced Khobab and Loeriesfontein wind farms on Monday. The 122 wind turbines at Khobab and Loeriesfontein, which together span 6 653 ha, would produce a combined output of 280 MW.
