The injection of Lake Turkana Wind Power’s energy into the national grid has saved electricity consumers Sh8.5 billion fuel cost charges in ten months, the project developer has said.

At a media briefing Thursday, Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) executive director Rizwan Fazal said additional cheaper electricity from the wind farm helped to significantly reduce Kenya’s reliance on diesel-powered generators during the biting drought from late last year through to April this year.
