The ground breaking ceremony for a 1050 megawatt coal-fired power plant in Lamu County is set to take place next month. This is even as the consortium continues to battle against fears of environmental degradation and community disenfranchisement from the plant.
Amu Power Company Limited - a consortium of petroleum firm Gulf Energy and investment firm Centum Investment- is expected to start works on the plant on October 14 when it expects to receive its land title deed. The company moved to assure the public that the project was well on course and would be completed on time.
