Red Rocket launches 10GW wind farm in Antarctica
Saturday Star
|March 29, 2025
WHILE the world is divided on Nasa's astronauts and uncovering the truth of what lies beneath the pyramids of Giza, leading African Independent Power Producer (IPP), Red Rocket, launched its mega 10GW wind farm in Antarctica.
Red Rocket, well respected for its groundbreaking wind, solar, and hydro projects in Africa, set eyes on the icy continent following its successes at home - silently developing the project for several years. One could even say that the IPP took its tagline "A Force of Nature" and just ran with it to harness the power of Antarctica's winds.
Known for its extreme climate that comes with deadly blizzards, Antarctica is home to peaceful research initiatives by member states of the Antarctic Treaty. It will now be home to the biggest wind farm in the Southern Hemisphere - Kuyabanda Wind Farm.
