Power producer KenGen is set to start the construction of the Olkaria V 140 megawatt plant by June this year after a delay of more than a year. The delay was occasioned by the lengthy process of recruiting a contractor and securing funds for the project.
The plant, which is expected to cost over Sh55 billion, will increase electricity available from geothermal and further stabilise power supply in the country when complete in 2019.
