- Gouda Wind Farm
130 MW wind farm with 46 AW100/3000 wind turbines.
Gouda is the first wind farm installed by ACCIONA in South Africa. Connected to the grid in 2015, it is equipped with 46 3-MW ACCIONA wind turbines mounted on concrete towers, with a hub height of 100 metres. Located in Drakenstein, approximately 100 km northeast of Cape Town, it can produce clean energy to cover the consumption of some 200,000 South African homes.
Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm is located 25 kilometres east of Colac and 17km west of Winchelsea in the Colac Otway Shire on Victoria’s Western Plains. The wind farm has been constructed around the southern and western sides of Mt Gellibrand itself. These open and partly elevated plains make the site an ideal location for a wind farm.
The site covers an area of about 29km², with a coastal exposure of nearly 11 kilometres. The Wind Farm consists of 33 two-megawatt wind turbines – generating enough green electricity to supply 35,000 homes every year.
