is a reminder that our country is being powered by clean, renewable energy and all the opportunities that it offers our communities!

Beyond energy generation, the project contributes to local economic growth, skills development and long-term sustainability through community-focused development initiatives in surrounding areas.

As part of South Africa’s renewable energy transition, wind power continues to create opportunities while helping reduce carbon emissions and supporting a cleaner future for generations to come.

Cookhouse Wind Farm generates enough clean, renewable electricity to power thousands of South African homes annually while contributing to a more sustainable national energy mix – helping to build a cleaner, more resilient future for South Africa.

Investing in community at every level.

Beyond creating a safe home for children, the Children's Home of Hope infrastructure project also supported the local economy. 52 temporary jobs were created, with local contractors from Adelaide contributing to the construction — ensuring skills development and income stayed within the community.

The annual GBV Soccer Tournament wasn’t only felt in Cookhouse — it reached audiences far beyond our community.

With matches broadcast live on DStv Channel 216 and the SuperSport Schools App, the spirit of unity and the message of gender-based violence awareness were shared with viewers across the country.
