It is capable of powering 200,000 households per year or 400-gigawatt hours of electricity. It is estimated that power generated from Gouda Wind Farm will avoid the emission of 406 million metric tons of CO2 per year of equivalent power produced from a coal-fired power plant. It is owned in partnership between the South African renewable energy and engineering firm Aveng and Spanish renewable energy company Acciona Energia. It is located along the R44 34 km from the town of Porterville or 115 km north east of Cape Town, just outside of Gouda.
