Lake Turkana Wind Power Ltd. of Kenya will face delays in supplying electricity to the grid when Africa’s largest wind-farm goes live in October because transmission lines may not be in place, the company said.
The developers of the 40,000-acre site in Marsabit county, northern Kenya, plan to have the first 90 turbines installed by September and begin generating power the following month, General Manager Phylip Leferink said in a March 17 interview.
