As part of its renewable energy expansion strategy, KenGen has identified a site with a 1,000 MW wind power potential to develop a new wind farm. The objective of the assignment is to assess the feasibility of wind power development at the proposed site, estimate the optimal capacity to be developed without requiring major grid reinforcement, and then prepare conceptual designs and conduct a preliminary environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA)/scoping study on the site, including a rapid bird and bat assessment. The study also involves the preparation of the project implementation plan, the procurement procedure and the operation strategies.
