My name is Alisha Raghoonanan,

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:07.640
and I'm the site manager
of the Oyster Bay Wind Farm.

3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.200
The Oyster Bay Wind Farm

4
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:11.000
is located in the Kouga Municipality

5
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:12.680
in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and,

6
00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:14.120
as the name suggests,

7
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.760
we are located next to the beautiful
seaside village of Oyster Bay.

8
00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:20.880
The wind farm is a 140 megawatt farm

9
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.520
consisting of 41 wind turbine generators.

10
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:26.520
The construction of the farm included

11
00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:28.680
26 kilometers of internal roads,

12
00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:31.200
18 kilometers of external upgrades,

13
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.240
two substations, one O&M building

14
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.080
and an overhead transmission line.

15
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:14.760
During operations

16
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:18.200
the plant is projected
to produce approximately

17
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:21.040
568 gigawatt hours of power,

18
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.480
whilst avoiding the carbon emission
of 590,000 tons.

19
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.360
During its peak we had approximately

20
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.240
500 employees working under Power Construction,

21
00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:37.520
CONCO, Vestas and EGP.
