Lake Turkana Wind Power is an operational 310 MW wind farm at Loiyangalani in Marsabit County, comprising 365 turbines of 850 kW each, developed through a limited-recourse IPP structure and supplying electricity to Kenya’s national grid under a long-term offtake structure with Kenya Power. It remains a canonical generation asset; the separate public transmission line is not merged into this generation record, and the project company’s live-output website widget is not persisted as installed capacity.
