Wind farm prioritises minimising environmental impact

Mitigating the environmental impacts of construction work requires careful planning and meticulous execution, particularly in areas such as the Karoo – where vegetation can be more sensitive to disruption and take longer to recover, says construction company Concor Construction. The 140 MW Karreebosch Wind Farm, being developed by turnkey renewable energy solution provider Cennergi Holdings and green energy supplier G7 Renewable Energies – located between Matjiesfontein and Sutherland – will supply power to a private offtaker. The project comprises 25 turbines, each 100 m tall with blades over 84 m long.
