The project entails development of a 42.5MW solar photovoltaic (PV) pilot plant and 3MW/5MWh Battery Energy Storage System for frequency provisioning in seven forks area to utilize abundant solar energy, reduce consumption of fossil fuels, diversify energy sources for electricity generation, and to master solar power generation technology. It will be undertaken on approximately 80 Hectares of land wholly owned by KenGen and free of human settlement. The site has a high solar irradiation of above 2,034KWh/m2.
