Kenya Power has secured Sh12 billion from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to finance the third phase of the Last Mile Connectivity Programme (LMCP) in which an additional 150,000 households, businesses, and public institutions would be connected to the grid.
Joseph Siror, the managing director of Kenya Power, said the Pan-African lender had agreed to provide the money that will also fund the construction and refurbishment of 13 substations and 225 kilometres of distribution lines.
