Africa''s total installed wind capacity is 4370 MW (2017)–far from its full potential. International private participation critical in wind energy expansion in Kenya. Kenya''s clean energy transition is about energy modernisation and expansion. Large-scale wind energy projects have an additional effect on Kenya''s development.
The present contribution of wind to the total energy mix is marginal; however it is expected to increase substantially in the coming years. Kenya has been particularly successful at attracting renewable and wind energy investments , , including the 310 MW Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) project, the largest wind farm on the continent.
International private participation critical in wind energy expansion in Kenya. Kenya''s clean energy transition is about energy modernisation and expansion. Large-scale wind energy projects have an additional effect on Kenya''s development. This article provides a review of the latest status and policy framework for wind energy in Africa.
Regarding supportive wind energy development policies, Kenya''s new constitution does not explicitly provide for the right to access energy. Nevertheless, it commits to sustainable development, which requires access to energy, preferably renewables, as stipulated in subsequent documents .
