About this project

The Lake Turkana Wind Power Project envisions the construction of a 310MW wind power plant in Marsabit District, Kenya. The wind park will consist of 365 turbines each with a capacity of 850kW. The power output will add 25% to the existing capacity in Kenya and the wind farm is projected to produce over 1,400 GWh per year. The proposed project will achieve CO2 emission reduction by replacing electricity generated by fossil fuel fired power plant connected to the national grid. It is expected that the project will generate average emission reductions of 850,000 tCO2 per year.
