Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) is a landmark renewable energy project in Kenya, harnessing the power of wind to generate clean electricity. Located in Marsabit County, LTWP is the largest wind farm in Africa, with a capacity to generate 310 MW of power, enough to supply approximately 17% of Kenya's electricity needs.
LTWP comprises 365 wind turbines, strategically positioned to capture the strong winds that sweep across the Turkana corridor. The project is a significant contributor to Kenya's renewable energy goals, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting sustainable development. LTWP's commitment to environmental conservation and community engagement is evident in its initiatives to minimize ecological impact and support local communities.
Through its operations, LTWP provides clean and affordable energy to Kenyan households and businesses, contributing to economic growth and improved quality of life.
The project also plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by reducing carbon emissions. LTWP's success demonstrates the potential of wind energy to power Africa's future and highlights Kenya's commitment to renewable energy development
