The giant 420 MW Northern Cluster, comprising three large wind farms under construction in the Karoo, is still anticipated to enter into commercial operation before the end of 2026, despite unprecedented recent rainfall in the region that affected site activity. The three 140 MW-apiece projects, known as Khangela, Umsinde and Ishwati Emoyeni, are being built by South African independent power producer (IPP) Anthem and co-shareholder Reatile Renewables.
