Farms: Lake Turkana wind power project named African renewables deal of the year 2014 in London

Just weeks after being named the African renewables deal of the year 2014 by project finance international earlier; the Lake Turkana wind power project has received yet another feather for its hat. The project has been named the African renewables deal of the year 2014 at the I-J-global awards 2014 Europe & Africa in London. The lake Turkana wind power project will provide 310 mw of reliable, low-cost, onshore wind power to the republic of Kenya’s national grid, which is equivalent to approximately 20% of the current installed electricity generating capacity. The project is of significant strategic benefit to Kenya, and at 70 billion shillings will be the largest single-private investment in Kenya’s history.Watch KTN Live http://www.ktnkenya.tv/live Follow us on http://www.twitter.com/ktnkenya Like us on http://www.facebook.com/ktnkenya
