Thika is now home to £20 Million medium diesel generating station with 87 megawatts capacity. The station is functional as of today set to cater for residents from Thika town and its environs.
Kenya Power’s acting Managing Director & CEO, Dr. Ben Chumo, who toured the facility said the availability of the station has boosted power voltage stability in the region. The station is still undergoing various commissioning tests as it generates power for the grid.
Dr.Ben Chumo also inspected some of ongoing projects being implemented in the area by Kenya Power which include the Mang’u substation, where power from the new power generating plant is injected into the national grid.
This development sums up the completion of various power projects including putting up substations and power lines set to facilitate delivery of power from the station to the consumers at a cost of Sh2.5 billion.
The ongoing projects in Thika, Murang’a and Gatundu began in 2009 to serve the growing demand of power with regards to clientele’s need for processing, given the area is home to tea and coffee farming.
