Turbine nacelle and rotor against a clear sky, Wind Garden Wind Farm

Telephoto study of a Vestas turbine nacelle and rotor hub at Wind Garden Wind Farm, with a blade shadow falling across the tower under a cloudless Eastern Cape sky. Photographed on 13 July 2026 from the R350 between Makhanda and Bedford (Nyarha) while the 94.5 MW project was under construction. Wind Garden is NOA Group's first wholly owned large-scale wind farm, with 21 turbines of 4.5 MW each on 112 m towers, selling power to private buyers outside the REIPPPP.
