Africa's Largest Sub-Saharan Wind Farm: Lake Turkana Starts Electricity Production
Detail_lake_turkana_20181017_1It is a symbolic project: although each of the 365 turbines has a comparatively low capacity of only 850 kW, the Lake Turkana Wind Farm in Kenya is still Africa's largest wind farm south of the Sahara. The individual turbines are now being commissioned step by step.

At regular intervals, the developers of the Lake Turkana wind farm report at Twitter on their progress in commissioning the wind farm in Kenya. Yesterday, 187 megawatts of clean energy were fed into the grid. Since the beginning of October, Vestas has been gradually commissioning the turbines - 365 in total.

Ørsted Works on U.S. Monopoly
Detail_deepwater_wind_20161213The Americans wanted to learn from the European offshore wind industry. At least until they would be able to develop their own industry. However, offshore giant Ørsted could now undermine such plans, as the Danes are working on a developer monopoly in the U.S. offshore sector.

So far, the record of the U.S. offshore wind sector has been a meagre one: Just one single wind farm with a capacity of 30 megawatts supplies electricity from American waters. There are some plans for further wind farms, though, with the know-how ...
