Electricity trader Discovery Green has signed a power purchase agreement with Red Rocket that unlocks the second phase of the independent power producer’s (IPP’s) 150 MW Overberg Wind Farm, located 12 km west of Swellendam in the Western Cape.

Red Rocket CEO Matteo Brambilla said in a statement that the Overberg Wind Farm represented the future of private-sector-driven renewable energy, describing the multi-offtaker approach being facilitated through Discovery Green as a “landmark” deal.
