Kenya: National Cement, a subsidiary of Devki Group that produces Simba Cement, is seeking environmental approval to build a 60MW wind farm in Kajiado County, southern Kenya. The proposed wind farm will include 38 turbines, internal access roads, underground and overhead electrical cabling and a substation, according to an environmental impact assessment. The new proposal follows the company’s commissioning of a 15MW power plant alongside its clinker operation between Merrueshi and Mbirikani in 2018 to lower the company’s electricity costs. It will secure power closer to the company’s manufacturing operations while increasing the share of renewable energy in its electricity supply.
