NAIROBI: US President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Kenya revived dialogue on a number of important issues for the continent, including his administration’s Power Africa programme. Unveiled in 2013, Power Africa is working with governments, the private sector and other partners to add 30,000 megawatts of renewable power capacity in sub-Saharan Africa.
Kipeto wind farm, managed by Kipeto Energy, will be one of the first projects built under the Power Africa initiative. Located in Kajiado County, Kipeto will generate 100MW of electricity, cutting 250,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. It will be Kenya’s third privately-financed wind farm.
