The project’s history dates back to 2004...
• One of the Founding Fathers knew the site since the mid 80’s;
• In 2004 he approached Anset Africa to look at developing a Wind Power project on that site.
• In 2005 Oil prices soared to above USD 45/barrel rendering Wind Power competitive in Kenya.
• June 2005 KP&P of Netherlands was approached to come and visit the site.
• September 2005, 1st MOU signed between Anset Africa and KP&P. This marked the beginning of the development of this challenging project.
• November 2009 Aldwich International (one of the owners of the Rabai plant in Mombasa) joined KP&P to co-develop LTWP to the present stage.

We have an unparalleled and unique wind-resource...
• This location is particularly favourable, as it lies in
the “Turkana Corridor” where a low level jet
stream originating in the Indian Ocean creates
strong and predictable wind conditions aided by
the presence of Mount Kulal to the North and
Mount Nyiru to the South which act to produce a
Venturi effect accelerating the winds across the
proposed location where the wind turbines are to
be located.

300 MW installed capacity, made up of 365
Wind Turbines, (VESTAS V52) carefully
placed to optimize the energy output

The logistic challenge
•Upgrading of 206 km of Road
•Construction of 3 flood bridges
•Use of 6 wheel drive trucks from Laisamis to site
•Most demanding parts: 3 transformers 80MT/pc measuring 5x4x4Mt in size
•12.000 truck Loads
10
…with solutions to cater for all logistic aspects and challenges.
• 4 Route surveys by:
• Mammoet,
• SDV Transami
• Vestas
• Civicon
11
The wind farm will be connected to the
National grid by a 400 kV T. Line from the
W.Farm site to Suswa – a distance of 428km. • International procurement process:
• Task Force – MOE, KPLC, KETRACO,
KEMA, KPMG, LTWP
• Public Sector Implementation.
• Contract awarded to ISOLUX Corsan.
(Spain).
• Contract negotiations completed on
25.2.2011 .
• Execution period 22 months.
• Cost Euro 142.5 M of which 110M
from Spain and 32.5 M from GOK.

Responsibility Programme covering
20 years and implemented in 4 x 5
year development plans focusing on:
•Water
•Health and sanitation
•Education
•Electrification
•Carbon Credits: Up to USD 16.5
Million/year to be devoted to the
development of the areas surrounding
the Wind Farm and along the
Transmission Line route.
