Turkana's planned oil production facilities in the South Lokichar basin are projected to consume up to 34MW of electricity at peak, posing a significant energy demand on both internal gas generators and Kenya's national grid.

The central processing facility will require a peak electricity demand of 34MW when crude oil production is at 50,000 barrels per day (bpd).
