Kenya has rejected a Swedish firm’s bid to construct Africa’s largest wind power plant in the coastal waters of Malindi, citing inadequate capacity for the project.
Sweden-based VR Holding AB last year submitted an expression of interest to build a 600-megawatt wind project in the Indian Ocean waters bordering Malindi.
