Machakos Plans More Than KSh400 Million Electricity Expansion

On 5 November, Machakos County announced an investment exceeding KSh400 million in electricity infrastructure through a partnership with the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation. The programme will install 100 transformers and target approximately 30,000 households, particularly in underserved areas. This is a planned infrastructure investment rather than a completed contract award. The programme creates opportunities for transformer manufacturers, electrical contractors, power-system engineers and renewable-energy suppliers. HPC can support supplier research, infrastructure procurement and strategic partnerships.
