The East African Portland Cement Company, Kenya Power, and Kenya Electricity Transmission Company have commissioned a 220/66KV line dedicated to the cement maker’s power needs.

This is expected to enhance efficiency at the firm’s Athi River plant. The power line is also expected to ease reliance on the Athi River-Salama feeder power line.

East African Portland Cement Managing Director Simon Peter ole Nkeri said the investment would enhance product availability and improve the firm’s competitiveness
