Kenya Electricity Generating Co., the East African nation’s main power producer, plans a 1,000 megawatt wind farm that would be the continent’s biggest such facility.
About 92% of Kenya’s generating capacity already comes from renewables such as hydroelectric dams and geothermal. Authorities there aim to increase that to 100% by 2030 and the nation’s leader, William Ruto, is positioning himself to be Africa’s leading voice on combating global warming.
