Wind power saves consumers Sh8b

The Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) plant may have enabled consumers to save more than Sh8 billion over the first half of this year, which would have been billed as fuel costs paid to thermal power generators.

This is according to the owners of the wind farm, who noted that over the first six months of the year when the country experienced a prolonged dry spell, power from the plant helped keep the thermal plants at bay.
