Konignaas Wind Energy Facility

Gemini is working in conjunction with De Beers and Just Palm Tree Power to establish a CDM wind project
near the town of Konignaas.

Just Palm Tree Power has identified the site within a De Beers mining area for the establishment of a commercial wind energy facility. The facility is proposed to accommodate up to 24 appropriately spaced turbines over an extent of approximately
160 hectares for the purpose of electricity generation under 10 MW.

The project intends to make use of South African designed and built wind turbine generators, and provides an opportunity for South Africa to take a market share in the renewable industry. Just Palm Tree Power is a South African turbine manufacturing company.

The facility is proposed to take approximately 6 months to construct and commission, and will require a small workforce comprising low, semi-skilled and highly skilled staff. The operational phase is estimated at approximately 20 years. Each turbine is designed
to operate continuously and with low maintenance.
