The Kristy Cape Academy is a primary school in Muhuru Bay, located near to Lake Victoria which is a very windy region. Therefore, wind turbines will be installed as the primary source of clean and renewable energy.

The project undertakes the electrification of the area and the overage will be used to create a community charging station supplying power charging up to 80 home lighting kits. They will be made available to the community via leasing. The station relies on a walk-up battery exchange/recharge model.
