The Perdekraal Wind Farm is a wind farm in the Witzenberg Municipality, built in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
The wind farm covers an area of 3055 hectares and was chosen because of its good wind conditions and proximity to national roads for wind turbine transportation. The wind farm formed part of the South Africa Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP), and was awarded within the REIPPP bid window round 4.[2][3]
