Onshore Wind Potential Area in Kenya (Windspeed at 100m in m/s)
Project: Kenya: Energy Development Plan to decarbonize the Economy
Prepared for Power Shift Africa, prepared by the Institute for Sustainable Futures, The University of Technology Sydney.
Scenario 1: Available land—excluding protected areas (PA), extreme topography (slope > 30%, S30), wind speed (< 5m/s), and certain land-cover classes (closed forests, wetlands, moss and lichen, urban/built up areas, snow and ice, and water (permanent water bodies)) (LU).
Scenario 2: Available land – -excluding areas for Scenario 1 (LU+PA +S30) + areas outside a 10km radius of existing transmission lines (PT10).
