International Court of Arbitration in London throws out Sh31b case against Kenya

International Court of Arbitration sitting in London has thrown out a Sh31 billion case filed by Kinangop Wind Power Plant Ltd against the Government of Kenya.

The arbitration arose out of a proposed 60.8 Megawatt wind turbine farm to be located in Kinangop at a cost of US $154 million. The project, if successful, was a Vision 2030 initiative, which sought to increase the power generation capacity from 1.5GW to 5.6GW by the year 2022.
