Klawer Wind Farm Project

Klawer Wind Farm is a renewable energy project originally developed by G7 Renewable Energies, a South African independent power producer (IPP) and renewable energy developer.

The 5 MW Klawer Wind Farm received preferred bidder status in 2015. Klawer was one of ten preferred bidders appointed in Bid Window 1 of the Small Projects Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (SIPPPP) in 2015, comprising a combined 49 MW. 

This site was chosen for its proximity to the grid, accessibility and wind resource availability. Construction has not yet started and, like all other projects awarded preferred bidder status in 2015 in the first round of the SIPPPP (a program recently cancelled by the authorities), Klawer is now likely to be repurposed for a private off-take agreement.

The Klawer Wind Farm was originally developed by G7 Renewable Energies and acquired by Red Rocket Energy in 2022.
