The two key projects are expected to play a vital role in stabilising power supply in the region.[File, Standard]
In my 21 years of experience in the energy sector, I have often been asked what it feels like to deliver major electricity infrastructure projects. My answer has always been the same: It is an immense responsibility.
Behind every power line, substation, and grid network are people whose lives and livelihoods depend directly on reliable and efficient electricity, businesses striving to remain productive, hospitals delivering critical medical services, and students guaranteed sufficient energy to support their studies at night.
Our work is ultimately about improving lives, creating opportunities, and powering national progress. The commissioning of the 400/220kV Mariakani Substation in Kilifi marks a major milestone for the Coast. For decades, the region has endured an unstable and costly electricity supply caused by inadequate transmission infrastructure and dependence on diesel-powered generation plants in Kipevu and Rabai.
