Reports that the receiver managers of Kinangop Wind farm had resolved to auction equipment must have come as a shocker to those who still harboured hopes of reviving the 60 megawatts (MW) project.
The plug has been pulled on the Sh15 billion mega-power project which was expected to wire an additional 15,000 homes to the national grid. The Kinangop Wind Park (KWP) is as dead as a dodo. And the reason was simple—a land compensation stalemate between the contractor and locals in Kinangop, Nyandarua.
