Lake Turkana Wind Power project concession covers an area of 607 square kilometres (60700 ha). Within the concession, the wind farm development occupies 162 square kilometres (16200 ha).

The remaining area acting as a buffer around the wind farm site. The actual Wind Farm site is 40,000 acres (16187 ha), of which LTWP’s permanent structures occupy less than 87.5 acres. The remaining land, representing 99.8% of the Project site, is open to the public and continues to be used by the local nomadic population

The project area has been leased from the Government of Kenya (GoK) for a period of 99 years- although another source states only 15 years.

Estimated Investment:€625m ($858m approximately).Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) has failed to overturn a Kenya High Court ruling that the land on which its 310 MW wind power project in Kenya sits was acquired irregularly and without due process, risking cancellation of its title deeds.The project is connected to the Kenyan national grid through a 438 km transmission line constructed by the Kenya Transmission Company (Ketraco)

The affected communities filed the case to stop the Lake Turkana Wind Power Limited in October 2013 until their grievances are addressed.

The affected communities filed the case to stop the Lake Turkana Wind Power Limited in October 2013 until their grievances are addressed. The communities reacted to the LTWP project with frustration and legal action due to the lack of adequate consultation and compensation. They complained that their rights to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) were not respected and that the land acquisition process was irregular. The lack of inclusion and the imposition of the project without their participation generated strong opposition, leading the communities to sue for the regularization of the situation and the return of the unused land. Presence of land conflicts

concession is home to pastoralists in a culturally significant area (for ceremonies by Rendille and Samburu clan also traces its origins to a water pool in the concession). Turkana village which was next to the wind turbines was relocated by the company.

concession is home to pastoralists in a culturally significant area (for ceremonies by Rendille and Samburu clan also traces its origins to a water pool in the concession). Turkana village which was next to the wind turbines was relocated by the company. The project did result in the displacement of people. Specifically, the Sarima village was relocated to make room for the project, affecting approximately 1,180 individuals. These relocations led to significant issues, such as increased population in the new village, substance abuse, prostitution, and inadequate sanitation facilities​. Negative impacts for local communities

The project has fueled conflicted between the affected communities because they are all fighting for the few jobs available and little CSR.

The project has fueled conflicted between the affected communities because they are all fighting for the few jobs available and little CSR.The impacts on the communities from the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project include the displacement of ancestral lands without proper consultation, and the lack of recognition as indigenous peoples, thereby avoiding stricter safeguard policies. Additionally, the project has caused cultural and economic disruptions, such as the destruction of significant sites. There have been conflicts and threats of repression from the government to clear roadblocks set up by the communities. There is also concern for wildlife, particularly migratory birds. In response, the communities have resisted these actions, defending their lands and rights.
