US firm to work with Chinese company on project in Kenya

China National Machinery Industry Corp, a State-owned enterprise often called Sinomach, has signed a memorandum of understanding with United States-based giant General Electric Co to help further develop Sub-Saharan Africa's clean-energy market.

The two have already identified a 102 megawatt wind power farm in Kipeto, a city 50 kilometers to the south of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, as a long-term pilot program for their future cooperation.
