Despite its high potential for wind energy generation,[1]wind power in Kenya currently contributes only about 16 percent of the country's total electrical power.[2] However, its share in energy production is increasing. Kenya Vision 2030 aims to generate 2,036 MW of wind power (9% of the expected total maximum generation capacity) by 2030.[1][3] To accomplish this goal, Kenya is developing numerous wind power generation centers and continues to rely on the nation's three major wind farms: the Lake Turkana Wind Power Station, the Kipeto Wind Power Station, and the Ngong Hills Wind Farm. While these wind power stations are beneficial to help offset fossil fuel usage and increase overall energy supply reliability in Kenya,[4] project developments have also negatively impacted some indigenous communities[5] and the parts of the environment[6] surrounding the wind farms.
