Vestas Wind Systems A/S won an order to supply what the company says will be Africa’s biggest wind-power plant in a sign that clean-energy investments are picking up on the poorest continent.
Vestas received an order from Lake Turkana Wind Power Ltd. for 365 of its 0.85-megawatt turbines, it said in a website statement. That’s the most machines the Copenhagen-based company has sold to a single plant. The project benefits from wind conditions that are among “the best in the world,” Chief Sales Officer Juan Araluce said today.
