The project, located in Barki Village, Garissa County, is expected to be formally commissioned by Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta. Once operational, the project will be connected to the national grid and provide energy costs that are competitive with other sources.

It is also another step towards President Kenyatta's 2020 target of obtaining 100% green energy across the country.”
