1. Nyakach Solar water pumping

The Corporation in collaboration with Kisumu county government implemented a solar water pumping project at Nyakach water treatment plant. This involved installing a 68kW solar PV and a pump controller with associated wiring to power existing water pumping system. The project was commissioned in 2017 and has been able to reduce the electricity bill of the plant by two million shillings per month. 

1. Nyeri Boreholes Solarization

The Corporation signed an MOU with the County Government of Nyeri to partner in implementation of renewable energy projects in the County. The Corporation has installed solar power pumping system in 14 boreholes which were initially powered by grid or diesel generators. Some of the boreholes were not operational since they had been disconnected from power supply due to pending bills or the cost of running the diesel generators was too high. The solarization of the boreholes has been transformational to the community in many ways.

Installation of solar pumping system for additional nine (9) boreholes is ongoing
