With wind energy set to contribute more to the national energy grid in the future, owing to the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2019, wake loss will become more of a challenge as the wind energy sector grows, says local wind energy company Aurora Wind Power CEO Mmoledi Chisalokile. “The IRP 2019 states that, by 2030, wind energy will represent 23% of the generation capacity in the country, and 18% of annual energy contribution. I believe this is a step in the right direction to help the country meet its climate change targets, as well as secure electricity generation capacity.”
