The connection follows the completion of 132KV substation in Konza to supply the Techo City with high-voltage power tapped from the Juja-Rabai line.
The new substation has the capacity to supply Konza City with 50 megawatts of power, equivalent to Eldoret town’s current consumption.
This now paves the way for businesses to start investing in the mega project and also marks completion of the government-led infrastructure in phase 1 of the project.
Other infrastructure developments that have been completed at Konza include a four-kilometre road network within the city, fibre optic connectivity, sewerage and water connection by Tanathi Water Services Board.
“We are on cause to fulfilling our mandate which is to provide serviced land at Konza for investors,” said ICT principal secretary Victor Kyalo .

Seriously how is this even important.
Have you been to Konza ama you just read about it in the newspapers? In case you don't know, its a fenced off piece of flat land that is best used for cattle ranching. However, govt operatives already made their millions by selling the same to Wanjiku promising a technocity
Why does one need to develop a dedicated technocity, technology companies were founded in garages etc.
