Lake Turkana Wind Energy Project

The Lake Turkana Window Power Project is a €623m Kenyan wind energy project that EADB is co-financing which on completion will expand power distributed via the country’s national grid by one fifth.

The ‘Lake Turkana Window Power Project’, represented the “largest private investment in the country’s history”. The project includes building 365 wind turbines and adding an estimated 42 kilometers of transmission lines to connect and supply power to the national grid. The facility is expected to start generating energy in early 2016 and add around 300 megawatts electric output to Kenya’s overall generating capacity.
