Lake Turkana Wind Power's (LTWP) annual electricity supply to Kenya Power dipped to its second lowest last year, amid reduced wind speeds which hurt generation of clean power from the biggest wind plant in Africa.
Company disclosures show that LTWP’s net generation was 1,367 Megawatts-hour (MWh) from 1,481MWh produced in 2023. The drop came in a year when average annual wind speed in the area dropped to 9.6 metres per second (m/s) from 10.6m/s the previous year.
