Kenya resides in the equatorial zone, a subsection of the tropics known to provide substantial wind and solar energy resources. Areas in the Rift Valley, such as the Marsabit and Turkana counties, enjoy the best wind speeds of the country and are highly utilized in wind based electrical production. When compared with the rest of Africa, Kenya ranks among the top in potential for wind energy as it has an above average land wind speed range of 3.26-8.11 m/s compared to the global average land wind
