Kenya Power has announced a substantial investment of KES.1 billion to bolster electricity infrastructure in Western Kenya. The initiative, which spans 11 counties, aims to enhance power connectivity and reliability for both domestic and industrial consumers.

The investment will fund both completed and ongoing projects across Kisumu, Homabay, Migori, Kisii, Nyamira, Siaya, Vihiga, Busia, Kericho, Bomet, and Kakamega. Speaking at the Nyanza International Investment Conference, Kenya Power’s Managing Director and CEO, Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siror, emphasized the company’s commitment to providing stable electricity to support economic growth.

“Our purpose is to supply adequate and reliable electricity to positively transform lives, as well as support trade and manufacturing, which play a crucial role in our country’s socio-economic development,” said Dr. Siror. “In this regard, we are investing close to KES.1 billion to construct additional power lines in the Western Kenya region. We believe that these projects will, in a great capacity, improve electricity reliability.”

Among the completed projects is the Narok-Bomet 132kV link, established at a cost of KES.700 million. The line is expected to improve power reliability in South Nyanza and the wider Western region. Additionally, the ongoing construction of the Kibos-Miwani-Ahero and Kisian-Luanda 33kV link, at a cost of KSh.189 million, will enhance power supply in Kisumu South, Ahero, Miwani, Awasi, Katito, as well as in Vihiga and Siaya counties.
