Sosian Energy, which is linked to the family of the late President Daniel arap Moi, is one of five firms seeking to build wind power projects with a combined capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in Marsabit County in what looks set to increase the country’s electricity surplus.
A letter by Energy Principal Secretary, Alex Wachira, shows the firm is seeking to build a 50MW wind farm alongside State-owned KenGen. The others are Gitson Energy, Kenya Mudhe Wind Power and Portuguese firm Ignite Energy Company.
