Despite its high potential for wind energy generation, [ 1] wind power in Kenya currently contributes only about 16 percent of the country's total electrical power. [ 2] However, its share in energy production is increasing.
[ 2] The Lake Turkana Wind Power Station, Kenya's largest wind farm, utilizes the Turkana Channel jet for its wind power productions. [ 6] Wind from this low level jet blows year round in large thanks to the daily temperature changes in Marsabit County.
The first wind farm in Kenya appeared in early 2000 in Ngong Hills with a capacity of 0.4 MW by the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen). [ 10]
There is a projected increase in renewables (solar and wind) contribution to about 18.5% of the total national grid mix by 2030.
