The Kenya Ministry of Energy has opened Tender No. MOEP/SDE/ONT/08/2024-2025 for the rehabilitation and corrective maintenance of 27 wind masts and associated data loggers across the country. The tender, published on 25 February 2025, closes on 12 March 2025.
The maintenance tender directly affects Kenya's wind energy development pipeline. Wind masts and data loggers provide critical meteorological data (wind speed, direction, density) for site assessment and project feasibility studies. Rehabilitation of these instruments will restore data collection capacity at 27 sites, supporting the timeline for prospective wind power projects seeking reliable resource data. This creates procurement opportunities for specialized instrumentation firms and maintenance service providers with expertise in wind measurement equipment. The tender scope suggests existing infrastructure has experienced degradation, which may have created data gaps affecting wind resource mapping in affected regions.
