Lake Turkana wind farm opens up dry Marsabit

For decades, the strong and steady winds flew across the remote and scarcely habited Loiyangalani region of Marsabit County. For long ignored as the act of nature serving to lessen the heat from the scorching sun, the wind is now changing the county — the rocky and hilly terrain, bordering Lake Turkana, that only served as a battle field for cattle rustlers.

But this is fast changing thanks to Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) project.
