Devki Samburu WPP

Development of a 60MW Devki Samburu Wind Power Plant in Kenya. The proposed project is to be located at Samburu, off Mombasa-Nairobi Road within Kinango Sub-County on plot, South Samburu group Ranch 88 owned by Devki Steel Mills Limited. The wind farm will be built by installing thirty-eight (38) wind turbines to generate electricity to the national grid. The design components will include wind turbines complete with all necessary auxiliary facilities, overhead power lines and access road. Electricity generated will be fed to an existing nearby sub-station and power transmission grid within the premises of Devki Steel Mills Limited Samburu Plant. The turbines to be installed will be Vestas V90 each with the capacity of 3MW; pitch regulated upwind wind turbine with active yaw and a three-blade rotor. Operating data for the turbines is as follows; rated power 3 000kW (50Hz); cut-in wind speed that is the lowest mean wind speed at hub height at which the wind turbine starts to produce power will be 3-5 m/s; the rated wind speed that is the lowest mean wind speed at hub height at which the wind turbine produces the rated power will be 15 m/s; while the cut-out wind speed that is the maximum wind speed at hub height at which the wind turbine must be shut down will be 25 m/s.
