The project involves the development of an 80MW solar-wind-storage hybrid project, located in Meru County, Kenya. The plant will have 20 wind turbines (65MW), 40,000 solar panels (20MW) and a battery storage system (5MW). The project is being developed in a partnership between Meru County Investment and Development Corporation (MCIDC) and Windlab East Africa, which is owned by Windlab Limited and Eurus Energy. The electricity will be sold to the Kenya Power utility (KPLC). The $145 million funds will be provided by the three project partners. The Public-Private Partnership initiative is expected to supply electricity to 200, 000 households and boost the local economy. https://ijglobal.com/articles/142211/eurus-energy-windlab-sign-mou-for-kenyan-solar-wind https://www.igwindkraft.at/media.php?filename=download%3D%2F2020.03.25%2F1585145207218813.pdf&rn=Global%20Wind%20Report%202019.pdf https://www.afrik21.africa/en/kenya-windlab-and-eurus-to-build-80-mw-hybrid-power-plant-in-meru/ https://constructionreviewonline.com/2020/01/construction-of-meru-county-energy-park-kicks-off/ https://www.africaoilandpower.com/2020/02/05/construction-of-africas-first-hybrid-plant-commences-in-kenya/ https://www.pulselive.co.ke/bi/finance/africas-first-hybrid-power-plant-worth-dollar145-million-kick-off-in-kenya/pvhhct1
