A 100MW new wind farm will be built in Kajiado County Kenya following a partnership by General Electric Africa (GE) and Kipeto Energy Limited.
To undertake the project, the two partners have signed a 15 year service agreement worth US$155million with funding by Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) which is the US government’s development finance institute and part the Power Africa Initiative. The project will also see GE provide all equipment needed including 60 GE1.7-103 wind turbines.
