Kenya, Nairobi: Kenya Power will invest nearly $110 million to finance the construction of 36 new substations to strengthen the country’s electricity network.
The new substations with power transformers and additional electrical equipment will be built in 23 counties across the country, helping improve power supply to electricity customers and providing adequate capacity to support economic growth, reports The Standard Digital News.
The projects will be financed by Kenya Power own funds and borrowings and are implemented under the Kenya Electricity Modernisation Project (KEMP).
“KEMP is a government-led initiative being implemented from this financial year with the objective to increase the transformation capacity by 412 MVA and develop 724 kilometres of medium voltage lines,” Kenya Power’s CEO said.
