Title:
Kenya - Kopere Solar Power Project
Detail:
The project concerns the design, construction and operation of a 40MWac net solar photovoltaic (PV) plant at 5 km from the center of Kopere in Nandi County. It falls under the Renewable Energy Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) policy in Kenya. The Expression of Interest (EoI) to conduct the project was approved under the FiT application process governed by Government of Kenya (GoK). The project involves the construction of a 33/132 kV substation and a 1.8 km T-line to evacuate the electricity to the national grid via an existing 132 kV Lessos-Muhoroni T-line network operated by Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC), under a 20-year ‘take or pay’ Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). It will be located on a 157 ha site, near the villages of Kopere and Chemelil in the Songhor/Soba ward, Tinderet (sub-country), Nandi county in Kenya, about 295 km north-west of the capital Nairobi, and 52 km east of the third-largest city in the country, Kisumu.
