Environmental Impact Assessment Study Report for the Proposed Kilgoris Kehancha Transmission Line.

Summary

Kenya aims to expand its electricity transmission capacity and access, specifically addressing unserved demand and supporting development in Kilgoris and Kehancha Sub-Counties. The proposed approach is to construct a 34km 132kV transmission line between these sub-counties. An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has been conducted to identify potential impacts, including affecting over 200 land parcels and the predominant Maasai community, and to propose mitigation measures. The project is currently in the planning phase, with the ESIA report detailing necessary environmental and social safeguards.
