Project Details

Multi-Link Group is proposing to design, construct and commission a 40MW grid connected solar power project in Turkwel, Turkana County.

Why Energy?

While Kenya aspires to be a middle income economy as envisaged in Vision 2030, it faces an enormous task of meeting energy needs due to the high expectations in growth to power the economy and rising demand for electricity. The country therefore needs to come up with strategies and investment plans to secure sustainable supply of electricity. Multi-Link seeks to make a positive contribution towards this end by designing and implementing the proposed solar project.
