Kenya’s Lake Turkana Wind Power Ltd. said financing talks will again delay the start of construction of a 611 million-euro ($795 million) wind farm, billed as sub-Saharan Africa’s largest.
The groundbreaking for the project, which will add 300 megawatts or about a fifth of Kenya’s present generating capacity to the national grid, will take “maybe another three or four months,” Chairman Carlo van Wageningen told reporters today in Nairobi. It had been scheduled for April, he said.
