Google announced that they are committing to invest in the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project in Northern Kenya, which will be their second clean energy investment in Africa, the company said in an statement.

“When complete, Lake Turkana will bring 310MW of clean energy onto Kenya’s grid—enough to power more than two million households across the country. Lake Turkana will help bring much needed capacity and stability to Kenya’s energy supply, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and emergency diesel generation while providing some of the most cost effective power in the country.”

Google will join a diverse group of international investors, including the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the U.S. government’s development finance institution, and Vestas, which is also supplying the turbines for the wind farm. We will purchase Vestas’ 12.5% stake in Lake Turkana once it comes online, becoming the first U.S. private investor to support the project.

Lake Turkana will use wind turbines like these, supplied by Vestas.

“As an investor in both the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind farm projects in Africa, we are as optimistic as ever about the potential for these investments to accelerate progress toward a future of clean energy.” Google added.
