Terrorism is too real in that part of the world unfortunately as you already know. A 1KW windmill will turn into a 3 ton pile of smoldering scrap metal if the right mouths aren't continuously fed. Also the idea is de-centralizing power generation to skip the transmission step where all the leakage exists.

Oops, sorry, read that as 1MW for some reason.
