TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY PIERRE DONADIEU A visitor looks on from a wind turbine at the Sere Wind farm, close to Vredendal, about 350 km from Cape Town, on November 6, 2015. The Sere wind farm, which consists of 46 turbines, each standing 115m above the ground and producing 2,3 megawatts of electricity, is managed by Eskom, the South African government parasatal charged with electricity supply, and was built by Siemens.Heavily reliant on coal-fired electricity, South Africa is launching ambitious new projects aimed at diversifying its energy sources and avoiding the regular power cuts that have hobbled the economy in recent years. Solar and wind energy plants are mushrooming across the country while the government is planning a huge -- and controversial -- expansion of nuclear power.
