Envusa Energy has announced that its 140 MW Umsobomvu wind farm in the Eastern Cape has reached commercial operation date COD, making it the second project in the Koruson 2 cluster to come online.
The project follows closely behind the 240 MW Mooi Plaats solar photovoltaic facility, which achieved its COD in March, bringing a combined 380 MW of the 520 MW Koruson 2 cluster into full commercial operation. The third project, the 140 MW Hartebeesthoek wind farm, remains on track to reach COD in June.
All three projects are connected to the Koruson 400 kV main transmission substation, which was developed as part of EDF Power Solutions Koruson 1 cluster and is designed to integrate up to 1,5 GW of renewable energy into the national grid.
