Gitson Energy lawsuit (re Bubisa wind farm, Kenya)
Sources
Snapshot: In 2012, community members from Marsabit, Kenya, filed a lawsuit against Gitson Energy at the Meru High Court over its Bubisa wind farm project. They argued that the community was not involved in the land allocation process. The High Court ruled that the Commissioner of Lands had no powers to demarcate the contested land and that the project should be halted. Gitson Energy appealed. In March 2017, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision. In 2018, the commercial operation of the wind farm commenced. In November 2021, the High Court ordered the Kenyan Government to include the Bubisa wind farm in its list of approved power projects.
