Google cancels plan to acquire stake in African wind farm

Google originally planned to purchase a 12.5% interest in the 310MW Lake Turkana project in Africa from Vestas, but Vestas says the arrangement with Google has been cancelled.

 

The Lake Turkana wind farm in Kenya was initially set for completion 2017, after which Google had committed to buy the stake from Vestas. Due to delays relating primarily to the transmission line, the Vestas agreement with Google was canceled in 2019, a Vestas spokesman told Reuters.
