Triumph Over Tough Conditions at Van Reenen’s Pass

INSTALLATION DATE: 01 December 2023

Region: Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa
Installed By: American Tower Corporation
Purpose: Supplying energy to the telecommunications tower while incorporating a wind turbine designed to endure the severe weather conditions prevalent in the region.

Kestrel's turbines have demonstrated exceptional performance at Van Reenen’s Pass, a challenging location on the N3 highway known for severe weather, including snow, heavy rains and winds exceeding 90km/h. Previous turbines lasted only two weeks there. However, Kestrel’s 400n turbine, installed in December 2023, has continued to operate successfully. This success prompted the procurement of 20 more units in April 2025, for installation in Kenya, reinforcing Kestrel's reputation for durability.
