Athlone power station soon to be a wind farm

Been wondering what will take the place of the cooling towers at the Athlone power station?
South Africa's leading power station has announced that in conjunction with the City of Cape Town, it will convert the power station into a wind farm filled with eight new 1.5MW wind turbines.
The implosion of the old power station is supposedly symbolic of Eskom's commitment to clean energy and plans to convert all existing coal fired power stations into renewable energy sources by 2016- we love that idea.
