Cordisons has been seeking to implement a wind power project to generate 100 megawatts in its first phase in Kiongwe. Updated Wed, August 10th 2016 at 13:18 GMT +3LAMU: The National Land Commission (NLC) has rejected a bid by a consortium of local and United States investors to put up a Sh23 billion wind power project in the county. Instead, NLC Chairman Muhammad Swazuri has thrown his weight behind Belgium renewable energy giant, Electrowind, and its local subsidiary Kenwind, to invest Sh21 billion and generate 90MW wind power in the area. Cordisons said it had not received any letter from NLC rejecting its application for lease instruments for the 11,000 acres. They also said the county government had the final say on land matters within the devolved structure.
