1. GRID PROJECTS
i. GoK FUNDED PROJECTS IMPLEMENTED BY REREC
-Public Facilities, Transformer Installation and/or Maximization-
The project aims to bring electricity closer to communities by expanding the power network in rural areas. This involves the installation and/or maximization of transformers and supplying power by connecting the target facility/customer to the national grid. Through connecting public facilities such as schools, health centres, markets, and other essential services, nearby households are also able to access electricity. This helps improve education, healthcare, and local economic activities.
- A total of 4,006 projects have been funded for implementation across all regions,
- With a combined investment of KSh. 35.61 billion
- Targeting approximately 324,387 customers
