The Golden Valley Wind Energy Facility (or "Golden Valley Wind Farm") is a wind farm in the Amathole District Municipality, built within the wind energy generation zone located in the centre of Bedford, Cookhouse and Somerset East, in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The Golden Valley Wind Energy Facility forms part of a cluster of wind generating plants within the wind energy generation zone, and is neighbored by the Nxuba Wind Farm and Amathole Wind Farm. The Wind Farm is owned by BioTherm Energy (wholly owned by Actis), Letsatsi Trust and The Golden Valley Wind Facility Community Trust - jointly Amstilite (Pty) Ltd - who appointed Goldwind as the EPC Contractor for the project. In turn, the EPC Contractor appointed Concor to build the Civil Balance of Plant, OptiPower, A Division of Murray & Roberts for the Electrical Balance of Plant, and Vanguard for specialized lifting.

The Wind Farm forms part of the South Africa Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP), and was awarded within the REIPPP Bid Window Round 4.
