Kaptagat & Cherab Solar Parks

Tarita Green Energy Company is developing 2 x 40MW Solar PV Grid Connected plants in  Western and Northern Kenya. The Kaptagat and Cherab Solar Parks are being developed  under the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum’s Feed-In-Tariff Policy and are at an advanced  stage of approval. The developer seeks a co-developer to source debt and provide equity for co-investment  in this high grade renewable energy investment opportunity.

 

Garissa-Habaswein-Wajir, Wajir-Mandera Project

The Northern Frontier Electricity Highway project consists of two proposed transmission lines: the Garissa Habaswein Wajir 220 kV transmission  line, spanning 330 km with two 220/33 kV 123 MVA substations, and the Wajir Mandera 220 kV transmission line, covering 250 km with one  220/33 kV 23MVA substation. 

Kaptagat Green Ammonia For Fertilizer Production

Tarita Green Energy Limited plans to establish a 195 MW solar PV park and a 135 MW green hydrogen  electrolysis plant in Kenya's North Rift county of Uasin Gishu at Kaptagat.  

● The project, executed under its subsidiary Kaptagat Solar Park Limited, aims to produce 40,000 metric  tonnes of green ammonia annually. Components include a solar PV plant, electrolyser for hydrogen  production, ammonia synthesis plant, storage tanks, fertilizer manufacturing complex, and ammonia  terminal at Kaptagat Railway Station..  

● The project site spans 1400 acres near the 132 KV Kabarnet Lessos Transmission line for power supply.  Green ammonia production aims to meet regional fertilizer demand and reduce emissions compared to  traditional methods..

Lake Turkana-Mt Kulal Pumped Hydro Energy Storage System

  • Lower Reservoir: Lake Turkna, infinite water 40Mw Floating Lake Turkana  Solar Pv: Main power supply for the PHES system.  
  • Elevated Reservoir: 40 Million Cubic Meters, 800M elevatisupply.  
  • on, has energy potential to generate up to 1GWH.  
  • PumpStation: 6Km inside the solid granite core of Mt. Kulal, with 800M.  Houses reversible pump unit heads.
  • Grid: Connected at the Lake Turkana Wind Power Station. Existing grid is  400Kw Loyangalani Suswa line. The grid is also to supply off peak power  to  
  • Irrigation Reservoir: Discharge from the pumped hydro plant channeled  to a reservoir East of Mt. Kulal for irrigation use, as it flows back to Lake  Turkana thus closing loop.  
  • Has a potential to irrigate 100,000 Ha, supporting livelihoods of hundreds of  thousands

33,600 Hectare Lake Baringo 1.2 Million Hectare Lake Turkana. Green Energy Powered Irrigation Initiative

The Green Irrigation Initiative aims to extract an equivalent  of one meter of water annually from Lake Baringo and  Lake Turkana for irrigation purposes

  • 1 meter depth of lake Baringo water is 168 Million Cubic  Meters, while lake Turkana 1 meter depth is 6.4 Billion  cubic meters. To put it into perspective, the newly  commissioned Thiba Dam, that put 10,000 acres of land  into irrigation, holds a total volume of 15 Million Cubic  Meters.  
  • An irrigated crop under dry conditions needs  5,000  cubic  meters of water per hectare per year. 1 meter depth of  lake Baringo water is thus sufficient to irrigate 33,600  Hectares; while 1 meter of depth of Lake Turkana Water is  sufficient to irrigate 1.2 Million Hectares of Land.
  • Climate change has caused unprecedented flooding in  these both lakes over the past years, and the utilization of  the excess water is a proposed viable mitigation measure  against disruption of livelihoods.
