The Umoya Energy Wind Farm situated on the West Coast, in the Western Cape, has painted the blades of its wind turbines as a mitigation measure to conserve avifauna. Blade painting entails the painting of one of the three blades on a wind turbine black or red. The effect of the single painted blade breaks up the so-called motion-smear experienced by most bird species that renders the blade invisible to them, explains renewable energy company Energy Infrastructure Management Services (EIMS) Africa, which owns Umoya.
