Lodwar power project set to replace Ksh900M diesel bill

Lodwar residents are set to bid farewell to their costly reliance on diesel generators, as Kenya Power nears completion of a Ksh1.01 billion project to connect the town to the national electricity grid. The Ksh900 million annual diesel bill, which is nearly equivalent to the cost of the new infrastructure, will be significantly reduced once the projects are completed.

Kenya Power Managing Director and CEO Joseph Siror highlighted the challenges faced by diesel generators in the town's high temperatures, stating that the new grid connection will provide a more stable and reliable electricity supply.
