Kenya joined the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA) on 17 June at the Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa, becoming the first African nation to join the group. GOWA estimates the country’s floating offshore wind potential at 68 GW, while World Bank data from 2020 puts total technical potential at 43 GW—9 GW fixed-bottom and 34 GW floating. With the membership, Africa joins Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Australia as regions with governments in the alliance.
