The Sh600 million Solarization Project aimed at cutting water pumping costs at the Baricho Water Works in Kilifi County is set to be completed by the end of this month, Cabinet Secretary Eric Muuga announced Wednesday.
During an inspection tour of the facility, Eng. Muuga said the project is 90 percent complete and will reduce the monthly pumping costs incurred by the Coast Water Works Development Agency - currently between Sh60 million and Sh70 million - by about 20 percent.
He noted that 6,716 solar panels, with a combined capacity of 4.3 megawatts, have already been installed, with a second phase expected to add another 4.7 megawatts, while a third phase will introduce lithium battery storage to enhance reliability.
The Baricho water system supplies Kilifi and Mombasa Counties, and has long depended heavily on electricity due to the low-lying terrain, leading to frequent power disconnections due to nonpayment.
