Petition Committee dismisses case challenging SH164b Lamu Coal plant tender to Gulf Energy

 

NAIROBI, KENYA: Petition committee dismisses case challenging the award of Sh170 billion Lamu Coal plant tender to Gulf Energy saying award was within the law.

The Lamu power plant will initially use imported coal, and later convert to use of locally developed coal from Mui Basin, Kitui County.

Power generated from the coal plant will be sold to the Kenya Power & Lighting Company Limited (KPLC) under long term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) framework. The decision to invest in coal power plants comes after it dawned on the government that several planned geothermal plants might stall due to financial constraints.
