It is located 70 km (43 mi) north of Cape Town, between Darling and Yzerfontein on the west coast of South Africa.

Darling Wind Power was incorporated in 2004 as the special purpose vehicle to develop, construct, finance, own and operate the Darling Wind Farm, which was at the time declared a national demonstration project.

The plant consists of four Fuhrländer FL1250 horizontal axis wind turbines, with a total installed capacity of 5.2 MW and reached commercial operation on 1 May 2008.

The Darling Wind Farm is selling its green electricity under two Power Purchase Agreements, one with the City of Cape Town, and one with POWERX .

Under these two agreements, the four wind turbines feed 8 million kWh of green electricity into the grid.
