Turbine erection at Karreebosch Wind Farm, near Sutherland

A newly fitted nacelle tops a bare tower at the Karreebosch Wind Farm while the main erection crane stands alongside and a fully assembled rotor waits on the hilltop for its lift. A second mobile crane and site vehicles work the ridge below a hazy Karoo sky. Photographed from the R354 to Sutherland, late April 2026.
