Google invests in Africa's largest wind farm, the company's 22nd renewable investment
Google announced it would invest in Africa's largest wind farm, making this the company's 22nd investment in renewable energy projects across the globe, committing more than $2bn. The Lake Turkana Wind Power Project in Northern Kenya, is Google's second investment in Africa. Once completed, the wind project will provide 310MW of clean energy onto Kenya's grid, powering more than two million homes across the country. Once online, the electricity generated by the wind project will help reduce the country's reliance on fossil fuels, particularly diesel.
