Kenya President Launches Wind Farm on Shores of Lake Turkana

Kenya has formally launched Africa’s biggest wind power plant, a mammoth project in a gusty stretch of wilderness that already provides nearly one-fifth of the country’s energy needs. The USD 680 million scheme, a sprawling 365-turbine wind farm on the eastern shores of Lake Turkana, is delivering 310 megawatts of renewable power to the national grid of East Africa’s most dynamic economy.

The largest private investment in Kenya’s history, the Lake Turkana Wind Power project was beset with delays and took nearly a decade to rise from the arid landscape 600km (372 miles) north of Nairobi.

The turbines, scattered across Turkana’s stark lunar landscape and rocky hills, began to deliver their first electricity last September.

Today, their giant blades deliver 15% of Kenya’s entire installed capacity, connected to the national grid through a 428km power line.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, after touring the project that “Today, we again raise the bar for the continent as we unveil the single largest wind farm. Kenya is without a doubt on course to become a world leader in renewable energy.”

The project lies in a natural corridor dubbed “the windiest place on earth” and promises to harness this endless power at low cost.

The nearly-50m turbines were engineered to handle the fierce gusts that tear through the “Turkana Corridor”, a wind tunnel that generates optimal conditions, year round.

Kangnas Wind Farm to Be Commissioned By End 2020

Sweden-based independent power producer Mainstream Renewable Power has announced the delivery of the Kangnas wind farm in the North Cape Province of South Africa by the end of 2020. It will provide 140 MW. Work is progressing on the Kangnas wind farm construction site in the Nama Khoi municipal area of North Cape Province. Mainstream Renewable Power, the Swedish company involved in the development of this project, says that the foundations of the wind turbines have been completed and that a wind turbine has even been assembled. The work is being carried out by the Spanish-German company Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.

Mr Cebo Ngcai, deputy director of the Kangnas Wind Farm Construction Project said that “We are currently providing work to more than 275 men and women in the local community of Springbok, as this part of the construction process is the most labour-intensive.” He also indicates that the assembly of a turbine takes about a day, “assuming the weather is favourable”. This includes six hours for the final lifting of the rotor, and almost three hours of pre-assembly work.

Mainstream Renewable Power also reports that it is ahead of schedule for the commercial commissioning of the Kangnas wind farm. The work is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The wind farm will consist of a total of 61 Siemens Gamesa SWT-2.3-108 wind turbines with a capacity of 2.3 MW each. The same models of wind turbines are also supplied for the Perdekraal wind farm.

The 168 m high turbine is equipped with a three-bladed rotor with a diameter of 108 m each. Each turbine is mounted on a 115 m high tubular steel tube tower and will run at an average speed of 15 rpm. This project also includes the construction of a 12.8 km long 132 kV dual circuit overhead line and a substation to increase the voltage from 132 kV to 220 kV. It is from these installations that the electricity will be fed into the grid of the state-owned company Eskom, which has undertaken to buy it back over a period of 20 years.

New Zealand Government Model Points To 1000 More Wind Turbines By 2050

New Zealand will need about another 1000 wind turbines to fulfil a government projection of 3390 megawatts of extra wind energy by 2050, Wind Energy Association chief executive Grenville Gaskell. He said that the biggest hurdle would be the Resource Management Act, but while there would be challenges around "consenting issues" there were no economic or technical obstacles.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has radically overhauled its assumptions about the electricity market, in part reflecting new expectations about economic growth and the more rapid uptake of electric vehicles.

The ministry estimates about 6300 megawatts of new generating capacity will be needed in the next 30 years and assumes that, based on current trends, 55% of that new capacity will come from wind.

Wind turbines have been getting more efficient and larger but Gaskell said the ministry's new "reference scenario" still translated into a requirement for about another 1000 wind turbines, with a generating capacity of about five times the country's existing wind farms.

Growth on that scale was realistic and suggestions that wind energy was not economic were "nonsense", Gaskell said.

Wind was currently generating 690MW of electricity without any subsidies and wind farms with a potential capacity of 2000MW had received consent but not yet been built, he said.

The economics of wind energy were very different in New Zealand than in Europe, where wind speeds were generally lower and wind turbines typically produced half as much power, he said.

"New Zealand has a lot of 'class 1' wind sites. In most geographies it is more economic than thermal generation now.

"If you go to the basics of wind energy, a wind turbine covers its carbon costs in the first three-to-five months of operation and it is zero carbon when it is operating."

Amendments in Bidding Guidelines Positive for Wind Power Developers in India - ICRA

The Ministry of Power, Government of India has recently notified amendments to the guidelines for the award of wind power projects through the tariff-based competitive bidding process, relaxing the timeline for land acquisition to 18 months (in line with the commissioning timeline) from 7 months earlier. This is positive for wind power developers who are experiencing significant delays in project execution due to issues like delays in land acquisition and securing transmission connectivity.

Mr Sabyasachi Majumdar, Group Head - Corporate ratings, ICRA Ltd, said that “This auger well for the developers, given the large delays witnessed in completing the land acquisition in many of the recently awarded projects. Further, the other amendments such as providing additional time for revising annual capacity utilisation factor (CUF), lowering the penalty rate for shortfall in generation to 50% of the quoted tariff from 75% of the quoted tariff and allowing sale of power from part commissioned capacity at quoted tariff against 75% of the quoted tariff earlier are also positives for the developers.”

This move by the Government was in view of the significant delays seen in the recent past in the execution of projects due to land acquisition issues. Thus, as against more than 12 GW capacity awarded over the past 2.5 years, the actual execution on the ground has been slow with only 2.3 GW commissioned between April 2018 to June 2019. The amendments also provide for commissioning the projects within 18 months from the date of execution of power purchase agreement or power sale agreement, whichever is later, against linkage with only PPA execution date earlier. Further, the Government initiated measures to resolve the issues faced by the developers related to land acquisition and transmission connectivity, by offering incentives in the form of facilitation charge to state governments providing support for land acquisition and fast-tracking projects towards augmenting inter-state transmission infrastructure.

ICRA expects wind power capacity addition to increasing to about 3.5 – 4.0 GW in FY20, supported by the large project awards by the nodal agencies and measures being taken to address some of the key challenges. However, the sector continues to face challenges related to weak counter-party credit profile reflected from deteriorating receivable position in a few states, the viability of the bid tariffs at less than Rs3 per unit and securing financing in a timely manner for under-construction projects.

Engie 119MW Willogoleche Wind Farm Formally Opens In South Australia

South Australia’s 119MW Willogoleche wind farm was officially opened for business marking completion of the latest big renewables project for French developer Engie, and the first onshore deployment of GE’s 3.8MW turbines at scale. The project, which installed 32 of the 150 metre tall turbines near Hallett in the state’s mid-north, has been completed by Engie and JV partner Mitsui & Co, two years after it was announced in 2017 the same year the company closed its Hazelwood coal plant in Victoria.

South Australia energy minister Dan van Holst Pellekaan took a break from approving a spate of large-scale solar and storage projects to help launch the wind farm, which he described as another significant addition to the state’s impressive portfolio of wind and solar. He said that “Willogoleche’s 119MW capacity will put downward pressure on prices by increasing competition in the South Australia’s energy market. (The project) adds momentum to the case for associated grid-scale storage and an interconnector between SA and NSW to enable the export of South Australia’s abundant renewable energy to the eastern seaboard.”

Engie said that power generated by the wind farm will be delivered via its own retail power arm, Simply Energy, which has more than 700,000 customers in Australia, including nearly 90,000 in South Australia.

The company says the GE turbines’ 130 metre rotor blades can operate through a range of wind speeds, allowing each turbine to maximise its generation capacity.

Engie’s Asia Pacific president and CEO Paul Maguire said that “Willogoleche is the latest demonstration of Engie’s long-term commitment to South Australia… (and) significantly increases our local generation capacity to deliver more renewable energy to our growing customer base in the state. This opening marks another milestone in our continuing transition across the Asia-Pacific region toward low-carbon energy production and the pursuit of growth opportunities through providing energy efficient and multi-technical solutions to customers.”

First Turbine Erected at Parc Eolien Taiba N’Diaye

Lekela, the renewable power generation company that delivers utility-scale projects across Africa, has erected the first wind turbine for its Parc Eolien Taiba N’Diaye project in Senegal. PETN will be Senegal’s first ever, and West Africa’s largest, wind farm. The construction of the first turbine marks another milestone in bringing Senegal one step closer to producing clean, reliable and affordable energy to the grid. The fully constructed Vestas V126 turbine is the first of the 46 to be erected. Each turbine will produce 3.45 megawatts. The wind turbines received type certification in January 2017 and are some of the latest versions of onshore wind turbines currently available. They utilise a 117m tubular steel tower and a blade length of 61.7m, giving a large swept area of 12,469m², allowing the wind turbines to maximise the amount of energy captured from wind.

Once fully constructed, PETN will produce 158MW, representing a 15% uplift to Senegal’s generation capacity and providing energy for 2 million people. The wind farm is expected to begin transmitting electricity to the grid later this year.

Massaer Cisse, General Manager for Senegal at Lekela said that “Seeing the first turbine go up has been a moment of great pride for all of us who have worked hard in making Parc Eolien Taiba N’Diaye a reality. It is a significant milestone for the project. We are excited to build the rest of the turbines, which uses the latest technology to harness the best in a renewable energy source. What’s more, the construction of PETN has generated hundreds of employment opportunities. We have also worked closely with local stakeholders to create a 20-year social investment programme that will benefit the local area. This includes initiatives that will create infrastructure and services for workers, and also encourage local enterprise and school education.”

Willogoleche 119MW wind farm officially opens

One of the largest renewable energy projects completed in the state, ENGIE’s wind farm has a generating capacity of 119MW, capable of delivering renewable energy to 80,000 homes. The wind farm was officially opened by State Minister for Energy and Mining, Dan van Holst Pellekaan, and ENGIE Asia Pacific President and CEO, Paul Maguire.

Consisting of 32 turbines and currently the fourth largest wind farm in South Australia, the opening of Willogoleche is the latest major milestone in the state’s renewable energy transition.

Willogoleche is the first onshore wind farm in the world to install and commission GE’s 3.8MW turbines at scale, and its 130m rotor blades can operate through a range of wind speeds, allowing ENGIE to maximise the capacity of each turbine.

Power from the site will be delivered via ENGIE’s retail arm, Simply Energy, which has more than 700,000 customers in Australia, including nearly 90,000 in South Australia.

The wind farm represents a USD 250 million investment by ENGIE and follows a USD 75 million upgrade to its 500MW Pelican Point Power Station, one of the most environmentally friendly of its type in Australia.

Minister Pellekaan said that “The Willogoleche Wind Farm adds another significant renewable energy resource to South Australia’s impressive portfolio of wind and solar generation. Willogoleche’s 119MW capacity will put downward pressure on prices by increasing competition in the South Australia’s energy market. The addition of further wind power adds momentum to the case for associated grid-scale storage and an interconnector between SA and NSW to enable the export of South Australia’s abundant renewable energy to the eastern seaboard.”

Epuron to Put 300MW Tasmania Wind Farm Plans To Community

The St Patricks Plains Wind Farm proposes installing as many as 80 turbines across rural properties alongside the main transmission corridor between Hobart and Launceston – on ridges currently used for forestry plantations. It would be a first for Epuron in Tasmania, where the company has been in the process of developing a 12.5MW solar farm in the state’s north-west, but has yet to advance any wind projects there, yet. Elsewhere in Australia the company has delivered 17 successful solar and wind energy developments since 2003.

Local papers reported that Epuron would hold an information session on Sunday at Steppes to introduce their proposed wind farm to the Central Highlands community.

According to the company’s website, the key considerations for St Patricks Plains include impacts to neighbours and sensitive species found on site, and providing appropriate buffer distances from nearby eagle nests and other sensitive species.

The project is just one in a spate of projects currently proposed for Australia’s smallest state, including the potentially massive Robbins Island project, which is facing growing local opposition, including from Greens founder and distinguished environmentalist, Bob Brown.

Objections to the UPC Renewables project one of two wind energy projects that would total between 600-1000MW in capacity include the size and visual impact on Tasmanian landscape, a lack of consultation with community, and the threat the turbines pose to bird life.

Epuron is also proposing a wind farm for the same region in Tasmania the 13 turbine Western Plains Wind Farm for property north-west of Stanley.

Of the St Patricks project, Epuron said that the it could provide enough power to meet Tasmania’s medium-term energy needs and allow the state’s hydro resources to ramp down and save water during windy periods.

Jan De Nul Installs All 3 Export Cables on Formosa 1 Phase 2

Jan De Nul Group announced that its cable laying vessel Willem de Vlamingh has successfully installed the three export cables on the 120MW Formosa 1 Phase 2 wind farm in Taiwan. As part of Jan De Nul Group’s EPCI contract for building of the overall Balance of Plant, Jan De Nul Group mobilised its Cable Laying Vessel Willem de Vlamingh to install the 17 inter array and 3 export cables. These three export cables have been successfully installed within one week. Thanks to its shallow draft design, the Willem de Vlamingh was able to position in water depths of not more than 7 metres, thus limiting the shore pull distance to around 1,750 metres. At the beach landing, the cables have been pulled through three HDD ducts into the transition joint bays. The Willem de Vlamingh is also acting as Trenching Support Vessel for the jet-trenching of both the export as well as the inter array cables.

For the installation of the export cables, Jan De Nul Group relied on its local supply chain network for the performance of the beach pull assistance works including installation of the HDD ducts, dive support and supply and operation of the support vessels.

The wind farm is owned by Formosa I Wind Power Co. Ltd., a partnership of Orsted (35%), JERA (32.5%), Macquarie Capital (25%) and Swancor Holding (7.5%). The offshore wind farm is located around six kilometres off the west coast of the Miaoli district in the Taiwan Strait, with water depths ranging between 15 and 30 metres. The original demonstrator project, comprising two wind turbines with a total capacity of 8MW, is currently being extended. This second phase will add 20 offshore wind turbines with a total capacity of 120MW to Formosa 1's current 8MW capacity. Formosa 1 will be the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm in Taiwan before 2020.

Heerema Marine Wins Second Large Wind Contract in Taiwan

Another prestigious contract is awarded to Heerema Marine Contractors for an offshore wind project in Taiwan, this time in the middle of Taiwan. The Greater Changhua offshore wind projects consist of four sites in the Taiwan Strait, from 35 km to 60 km off the coast of Changhua County. Danish offshore wind developer Ørsted has obtained site exclusivity on four offshore wind sites with a planned total generation capacity of 2.4GW, and was in 2018 awarded capacity for two projects of 900MW and 920MW.

The contract for Heerema is for the 900MW Greater Changhua 1 and 2a offshore wind farms. The contract scope entails the transport and installation of one hundred eleven (111) turbine foundations as well as the installation of two large offshore substations, essential components of offshore wind farms that run electricity to the mainland. Furthermore, Heerema will also be responsible for onshore marshalling services as well as the seabed preparations and scour protection.

The installation will be executed by Heerema's fast sailing heavy lift vessel "Aegir", that is already in the area for another project. Due to Aegir’s strength and agility, the vessel is very suitable for operating on challenging wind projects such as these. The installation will take place in waters of 30-35 meters deep.
