Kisumu Solar Power Station
The Kisumu Power Station, also Kisumu One Solar Power Station, is a solar power plant under development in Kenya. It is owned by Ergon Solair Africa, based in Nairobi, Kenya. ESA is a subsidiary of Ergon Solair PBC, an American independent power producer, headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. The off-taker is the national electricity distribution company, Kenya Power and Lighting Company, under a long-term power purchase agreement.
Location
The power station would sit on of roadside land, in Kibos, an industrial neighborhood in the city of Kisumu, on the shores of Lake Victoria in western Kenya. Kibos is located approximately northeast of the central business district of Kisumu City.Overview
The design calls for a ground-mounted solar farm, sitting on, with capacity generation of 40 megawatts. Its output is to be sold directly to Kenya Power Limited for integration into the national grid. The electricity will enter the national grid via a 220 kV substation near the solar farm. It is expected that this power station will add 105.3 MWh of electricity to the national grid annually.Developers
