The project will ultimately deliver over 900 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy capacity across seven phases. The company has already installed 25 wind turbines near Bethal, Davel and Morgenzon. Seriti Green said in a statement, "This marks a major milestone in South Africa’s Just Energy Transition (JET), with Seriti Green leading delivery at scale from the heart of the country’s traditional coal region. With turbines in the ground and thousands of people gaining skills and employment, the Just Energy Transition is no longer theoretical but in action."

Seriti Green has successfully closed three 155MW phases (a total of 465MW) in just two years: the initial phase reached financial close in 2024 while the second closed in August 2025.
