Seriti unpacks big renewables ambition for coal heartland as first 155 MW wind project enters into operation

The first 25 turbines at Seriti Green’s Ummbila Emoyeni Wind Farm, which is rising in the coal heartland of Mpumalanga within site of the giant Secunda coal-to-liquids complex and in close proximity to three Eskom power stations, have officially entered commercial operation. The milestone was commemorated at a ceremony presided over by President Cyril Ramaphosa on July 31, and represents the first 155 MW phase of a planned 900 MW renewable energy roll-out by Seriti Green in the province, with construction on the first project having begun in April 2023.
