Kenya Power, through its Institute of Energy Studies and Research (IESR), has rolled out a wildlife protection project to safeguard birds of prey and other animals from electrocution.
The project will be implemented along sections of the country’s electricity network that are wildlife corridors, in partnership with US-based Kaddas Enterprises.
It involves retrofitting wildlife-friendly covers on sections of power lines that are considered hotspots for electrocution.
