A Nyandarua farmer has obtained court orders stopping construction of the electricity transmission line linking Lake Turkana wind farm to the national grid in a move that could cost consumers billions of shillings in additional penalties payable to the power producer.

The flower farm, Afriscan (Kenya Limited), says construction of the line cannot continue until it is paid a Sh2.7 billion compensation for the planned acquisition of its land for purposes of building the line.
