The Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm has an installed capacity of 138 MW and is one of Globeleq’s largest operating renewable energy assets. It is located between Jeffreys Bay and Humansdorp in the Eastern Cape, approximately 70 km west of Gqeberha, within the Kouga Municipality. The site spans eight commercial farms covering approximately 3,700 hectares. The wind farm consists of 60 Siemens 2.3 MW turbines that export power to the national grid through a 132 kV Eskom connection. The facility generates approximately 460 GWh of renewable electricity annually, enough to supply nearly 100,000 average South African households. A percentage of operating revenues benefits local communities through socio-economic and enterprise development programmes. Globeleq is the majority shareholder and is responsible for the operation and management of the facility.
