The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company is set to complete its Ksh 800-million power evacuation project over the next two months. The company is constructing a 12.6-km transmission line to send 105 MW of geothermal energy from the Mengai wells, developed by the Geothermal Development Corp., to the grid.
The project scope includes the construction of a 132kV substation at Menengai, extension of the bay in the existing Soilo substation, and transmission line infrastructure connecting the two.
The firm has so far constructed power line towers and is 80% complete with work on substations.
