    of each technology.

    The project developer signed a memorandum of understanding
    with the Kenya Investment Authority and Meru County Government at the Tokyo International Conference on African Development.

    Project developers include Australian developer Windlab and Japanese peer Eurus
    .
    Meru County Government acquired a partial stake in the project through Meru County Investment and Development Corporation, with the remainder held
    by a joint venture between Australian and Japanese developers.

    The project partners added that Kenya's second wind farm, Meru, will start construction
    in 2021.
