Kenya Power has supplied 120 tonnes of scrap copper to the Numerical Machining Complex (NMC) for recycling into various products, some of which will be returned to the electricity firm on a net-off arrangement, in a bid to combat vandals and cut procurement costs by up to 30 percent.
The haul of scrap metal supplies includes a further 228 tonnes of transmission (Tx) shells, which are used for making meter seals, under a two-year deal that the two State-owned firms entered into in August last year. NMC is expected to make its first supplies from the recycled scrap metal by June this year.
