There seem to be concerns on the unregulated proliferation of wind energy facilities in South Africa and this call for an urgent need to regulate and not provide guidelines. Huge areas of land, if this sector is not regulated, could be blanketed in the equivalent of skyscrapers resulting in cumulative impacts on ecology (e.g. bird habitats). Concerns were also raised on the lack of extensive consultation especially with farmers around since the area consists of wetlands. Wetlands are considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems.
