Abstract
Wind power is both an efficient and reliable form of clean source of renewable energy. It can be an excellent method of harnessing renewable energy from locations where there is availability of land. The Katsina Wind Farm (WF) project was designed to be a pilot project because it is the first WF in West Africa. The project covers 200 hectares (10,000m2/hectare) of land. The monthly average temperature at WF site is between 27°C and 31°C based on the metrological station in Katsina. The maximum measured temperature on site is about 40°C. This paper outlines some of the characteristics and layout of the wind farm.
