Recently, Africa's largest wind power project officially started operation on the shores of Lake Turkana in northern Kenya, with an installed capacity of 310 megawatts
.
This is currently the largest wind farm in Africa and aims to reduce the country's electricity costs and dependence on fossil fuels, with the ultimate goal of achieving 100% green energy
by 2020.
Known as the Lake Turkana Wind Farm (LTWP), the wind farm, with 365 turbines, will increase the country's electricity supply by 13 percent, bringing lower-cost electricity
to Kenyans.
Kenya is indeed making huge strides towards renewable energy and is one of the few African countries to increasingly commit strongly to clean energy
.
Currently, 70% of the country's electricity comes from renewable resources
such as hydropower and geothermal.
That's about three times
the world average.
Kenya's state-owned electricity company, KenGen, generates 80% of Kenya's electricity, 65% of which comes from hydropower
.
However, more needs to be done in Kenya, as a quarter of Kenyans in rural areas still do not have access to electricity, and even rural areas with access to electricity often experience power
outages.
According to reports, the project cost about $680 million, making it the largest private investment project
in Kenya's history.
