In Episode 3 of MITV OnTheGround – Season Two, Laura Nicholson explores the transformative potential of wind energy at the Ummbila Emoyeni Wind Power Farm – the province’s first large-scale wind energy project.

This pioneering facility is set to supply up to 75% of the energy needs for Seriti Resources’ coal mining operations (starting with New Denmark Colliery), marking a bold step forward in South Africa’s Just Energy Transition.

On site where the wind turbines are being installed, Laura interviews Rudolph Botha, Project Manager at Seriti Green, who shares insights into the technical execution, strategic vision, and long-term impact of the project.

The episode highlights how Ummbila Emoyeni is redefining the relationship between coal and renewables, offering a scalable model for embedding clean energy into legacy mining infrastructure.

Through expert commentary and immersive on-the-ground footage, viewers gain a front-row view of how Seriti is leading the charge in reshaping the future of mining, where tradition meets innovation, and coal meets clean energy.
