GRI to start manufacturing wind towers in Cape Town in H2 2014
Multisector company Corporación Gestamp’s wind industrial division, GRI Renewable Industries, will start manufacturing wind towers at its new manufacturing facility in Cape Town during the second half of this year, the company said on Monday.
The €22-million facility, aimed at contributing to the strong development of renewable-energy markets in South Africa through the supply of wind towers, would have the capacity to create 150 towers a year and would create more than 200 jobs.
“With this new facility, GRI consolidates its position in the South African market, [a] factor that will enable the business to deploy and share its know-how to the local market,” GRI CEO Javier Imaz said.
Further, the Gestamp group would also, through its subsidiary Gestamp Wind, be constructing a €160-million, 75 MW wind farm on the Noblesfontein farm, in the Karoo, as part of the the first window of the Department of Energy’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), and was hoping to be awarded another 100.8 MW wind project submitted in the third round of the REIPPPP’s public tender process.
