Energy (Kiswahili: Nishati): Generation, transmission, distribution and access, including renewables. The Lake Turkana Wind Power project, Africa’s largest wind farm, has 365 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 850kW, supplying 17% of Kenya’s installed capacity.1

What this page is for

A hub for everything the plan says and the community knows about energy on the coast. Link the organisations, projects, datasets and places that belong here, and record each stakeholder’s position on contested questions so they can be read side by side.

Coverage the plan expects

  • grid access and reliability
  • solar and wind projects
  • LNG and thermal generation
  • energy for industry
  • household energy and cooking fuels

Sources

This is where we will add sources for the Energy sector.
