Mombasa Cement Company set up its 36-megawatt wind farm in Kilifi for its operations due to the high cost of electricity and inefficient supply that have seen other companies also shift from relying on Kenya Power.

The firm that produces the Nyumba brand of cement said the construction of the wind farm started this year on part of its land in Vipingo and will supply its new grinding plant, which will be launched next month.
