Kenya Power has announced investments totaling Sh765 million in new substations in Kilifi and Kwale counties. The projects aim to enhance power reliability and reduce strain on the existing infrastructure. The Kilifi substation, costing Sh455 million, is nearing completion and will serve the region with improved energy capacity.
The Kwale substation is also part of the initiative to strengthen the electricity supply. Kenya Power expects these upgrades to ensure a more stable and efficient power distribution system. The increased capacity is intended to meet rising demand and support local development.
The investments reflect the company's efforts to address growing energy needs and improve service quality. With both substations set to enhance grid performance, residents and businesses in the areas may experience fewer outages and more consistent power supply.
The projects highlight Kenya Power's commitment to modernizing its infrastructure and supporting economic growth in coastal regions. The long-term goal is to provide reliable electricity to meet the increasing demands of the population and industries.
