Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr welcomed a delegation from the British High Commission, led by Economic Counsellor Daniel Wilcox, to Makueni. The discussions focused on collaborative efforts for resource mobilization to promote innovative renewable energy technologies and the transition from grid-powered to solar-powered systems in the county.
One significant area of partnership is the establishment of a state-of-the-art County Energy Center at Kisingo Technical Training Institute, aimed at serving both the county and the broader region.
During their visit, the UK PACT team, along with county officials for Energy and Environment, inspected the Makueni County Referral Hospital’s ongoing solar panel installation project. Jointly funded by the UK and the county government, the project will generate 200 kilowatts of solar power, enabling the hospital to rely entirely on solar energy. This initiative is expected to save the hospital Sh 7 million annually in power costs.
