Contribution of 5.1 MW Ngong Wind Farm to Reduction of CO2 Emissions in the Power Generation Activity in Kenya

This study was carried out to determine the contribution of 5.1MW Ngong wind farm to reduction of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions in the power generation activity in Kenya. In this study six (6) years of data was collected and Tier 1 approach of 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was applied to derive the average monthly emissions. Plant utilization factor was used to adjust for penetration of each of the fossil thermal generation technology. Analysis of the data showed that on average 0.702 Metric Tonnes of
