The farm will be the largest of its kind in SA, supplying 500 000 households.
B lack-owned coal mining group Seriti Resources has announced a massive 900MW wind farm in Mpumalanga, making it the largest of its kind in the country.
The R4.8 billion first phase of construction of the 155MW Ummbila Emoyeni wind energy facility is currently underway.
Seriti Green aims to invest an estimated R25 billion in the overall renewable energy mega project.
According to Seriti, the project will ultimately supply 75% of the power needs of the group's coal mines, reducing its carbon footprint and accelerating its green energy transition.
The project is expected to be fully commissioned by 2027, by which time it will provide electricity to about 500 000 households around the area, as well as the Seriti coal mines.
Its first phase, comprising 155MW, is currently underway and will be completed by mid-July 2026.
