}}Lamu Wind Power Station, also Lamu Wind Farm, is a planned {{convert|90|MW|abbr=on}} wind-powered power station in Kenya.[1]

Location

The power station would be located in Baharini Village, near the town of Mpeketoni, in Lamu County, approximately {{convert|20|km|0}} west of the location of Port Lamu.[1] This is approximately {{convert|667|km|0}}, by road, south-east of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.[2]

Overview

As part of efforts to diversify the energy sources in Kenya, Kenwinds Holdings, a private company, plans to establish a 90 MW wind farm in Mpeketoni Division at the Kenyan coast in Lamu County.[3] The planned wind station will sit on {{convert|3200|acre|mi2}} of land and consist of 38 wind turbines.[4] The power generated will be evacuated via a new {{convert|323|km|0}}, 220 kV power line from Lamu to Rabai, where it will be integrated into the national grid.[3]

Development partners

The power station will be owned and operated by Kenwind Holdings Limited, a Kenyan corporation. Kenwind Holdings is a subsidiary of Electrawinds, a Belgian energy company, which is collaborating on the project.[4] The International Finance Corporation, a branch of the World Bank is providing a portion of the budgeted US$$235 million financing.[1]

Land dispute

In March 2017, Cordisons International Limited, an American wind-energy developer, went to court to challenge Kenwind Holdings Limited's right to the {{convert|11000|acre|mi2}} piece of property on which the development will sit.[5] In May 2018, Kenwind Holdings Limited, the Belgian company, prevailed in court and retained the rights to develop this power station.[6]
