The Kenyan government has moved to secure guarantees for a number of renewable energy projects, to ensure that private lenders sign the necessary cheques. The size of the projects seems excessive, and the guarantees will put pressure on the country’s national accounts.

The Cabinet’s decision to put $209m into an escrow fund to guarantee loans will potentially unlock $1.6bn in funding to go ahead with the energy projects. The two biggest projects in question are Turkana Wind Power, the largest wind farm in sub-Saharan Africa with a capacity of 300MW, and Olkaria 4, Kenya’s biggest geothermal power project, with a 280MW capacity. Other projects are the Aeoulos …

… more than enough solar power falling on the deserts of North Africa to power all of Europe. Recent developments in the fields of concentrated solar power and high voltage direct current cables mean that the power could be harnessed by huge solar arrays, transported across the Mediterranean, and distributed through Europe relatively efficiently.

Twelve European companies have already invested in making the idea a reality and test projects are due to start in Morocco in 2012. By 2013 the group will decide whether the foundation will seek the $600bn necessary to make the project a reality. If so, the initiative could be completed within two years.
