The 69 MW Msenge Emoyeni Wind Farm, located in Bedford in the Eastern Cape, has entered into commercial operation and is wheeling electricity into the national grid helping to green the electricity consumption of Sasol’s operations in the Free State

The 16-turbine generation plant has been built by a consortium led by African Clean Energy Developments (ACED) and including African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM) and Reatile Renewables.

Completed within 18 months, Msenge has been co-sponsored by ACED and AIIM are, while and the equity in venture is 62% owned by AIIM, through its IDEAS Fund, and 38% by Reatile.

Sasol president and CEO Simon Baloyi describe the commercial operation of Msenge as an historic milestone in the carbon-intensive group’s energy-transition journey and in reducing Sasol’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The JSE-listed energy and chemicals producer is aiming to procure up to 1 200 MW of renewable energy by 2030 and has to date signed power purchase agreements for 757 MW, positioning the company as a leading buyer of private renewable energy in South Africa.
