In a significant stride towards enhancing the power landscape of Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya Power has unveiled ambitious plans to establish a robust 15MVA, 132/33kV substation. This strategic move is set to revolutionize the quality of power supply within the region, marking a pivotal chapter in Tharaka Nithi’s developmental journey.
What adds depth to this initiative is the generous donation of a sprawling three-acre parcel of land by the esteemed Tharaka Nithi Governor, Muthomi Njuki. With this invaluable contribution, the groundwork is laid for progress, paving the way for a more electrified future.
At the heart of this endeavor is the creation of a new power line, illuminating Kathwana and its neighboring areas. But this substation is not merely a conduit for electricity—it’s a nexus of possibilities.
Nestled within its infrastructure is a specialized yard, meticulously designed for the storage of essential components such as poles and equipment. These elements are indispensable, acting as the lifeblood of seamless electricity connectivity throughout the county.
Governor Njuki, in his statement, affirmed, “The land we have donated to Kenya Power belongs to the County Government of Tharaka Nithi.” This gesture underscores the collaborative spirit between the county and Kenya Power, emphasizing their shared vision of a stable and vibrant power supply network.
Crucially, this power hub is poised to energize Tharaka Nithi’s Aggregation and Industrial Park, acting as a catalyst for economic growth. Kenya Power’s proactive stance aligns with their broader mission: to empower counties nationwide by bolstering electricity accessibility.
Joseph Siror, the Managing Director and CEO of Kenya Power, emphasized their commitment, stating, “We will engage all the counties across the entire country so that we can identify the areas of challenges and possible opportunities to better our partnership for improved service delivery.”
This initiative couldn’t come at a more opportune time. Kenya Power’s recent challenges, notably the technical glitch on its pre-paid electricity token payment platform, serve as a reminder of the importance of a reliable power infrastructure. By forging alliances, Kenya Power is not just illuminating homes and businesses; it’s illuminating a path to progress, promising a brighter future for Tharaka Nithi and beyond.
