Under the contract, awarded by Lake Turkana Wind Power, Vestas will supply, install, and commission the wind turbines for the power plant, which is expected to save approximately €150m in fuel imports every year for Kenya.
The contract also includes a 15-year active output management (AOM 4000) service agreement.
The project is scheduled to be completed in 2017.
Lake Turkana Wind Power chairman Mugo Kibati said: "We are very pleased to continue this great journey with Vestas as we progress toward our aim of reducing Kenya’s need for hydro and expensive fossil fuel-based power generation.
"We want to ensure that Kenya has access to low and consistent power prices, and with the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project, we can do that."
Located approximately 1,200km from the Kenyan port of Mombasa, the Lake Turkana project will generate more than 1,400GWh of power annually, which is equivalent to approximately 15% of the country’s current electricity consumption.
