A company called Mainstream Renewable Power Jeffreys Bay is currently examining the feasibility of one or more wind farms near Jeffreys Bay. The purpose of the proposed wind farms is to utilize our (in)famous blustery weather to generate electricity. This will entail erecting a number of wind masts with a height of approximately 100 m.
To this end a firm called Public Process Consultants has been retained to conduct an environmental impact assessment relating to the proposed project. They have now produced a final scoping report, which is available for public scrutiny at the public library in Humansdorp and Jeffreys Bay. It can also be downloaded from the project website, www.publicprocess.co.za.
The next stage in the environmental impact assessment process will entail the release of the Draft Environmental Impact Assessment and EMP for a 40 day review period. Public meetings will also be held during this period.
More details of the wind project may be found by clicking on Installation of 9 wind monitoring masts.
