Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL), previously known as Adani Transmission Ltd., is making substantial advancements in Kenya’s energy sector.

According to a letter dated December 21, 2023, AESL has commenced Project Development Reports (PDR) for three major high-voltage transmission lines.

The National Treasury of Kenya has endorsed significant Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreements with Adani Energy Solutions and Africa50, aiming to overhaul the country’s electricity transmission infrastructure. These projects, collectively valued at KES 158.24 billion, are expected to address issues related to power outages and an aging transmission network.

Adani Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of the Adani Group, will undertake the construction of several key transmission lines and substations:

  • A 206-kilometer 400kV Gilgil-Thika-Malaa-Konza line.
  • A 95-kilometer 220kV Rongai-Keringet-Chemosit line.
  • A 70-kilometer 132kV Menengai-Olkalou-Rumuruti line.
  • A 400/220kV substation in Lessos and additional facilities in Rongai, Nakuru, and Thurdibuoro.

The total investment for Adani’s projects is estimated at KES 117.62 billion. SMEC International Private Ltd has been engaged to conduct feasibility studies, environmental assessments, and resettlement action plans for these projects, which will span counties such as Nakuru, Kiambu, Nyandarua, and Kericho.

Krishan Duit Tiwari, Country Manager of Adani Energy Solutions, emphasized the importance of cooperation with relevant authorities. “We request your good offices to accord M/s SMEC International Private Limited the necessary cooperation and assistance required to complete the scope of works,” Tiwari stated.

However, there is public skepticism about the involvement of foreign firms in critical infrastructure. “Why is @WilliamsRuto giving away sensitive strategic national assets like some emaciated chicken he used to hawk with total disregard to national security?” questioned one critic, reflecting concerns about national security and foreign influence.
