KENYA ELECTRICITY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (KESIP)
ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
APRIL 2019
BASIC INFORMATION
1. Country and Project Name: Kenya Electricity System Improvement Project (KESIP)
2. Project Development Objective: To increase the capacity of the transmission system and to increase access to electricity in Kenya
3. Expected Project Benefits:
Beneficiaries will be households, business enterprises, commercial building and industrial establishment that will be connected to the electricity network for the first time. A second group of beneficiaries will be existing electricity consumers for whom the quality and reliability of electricity service will improve. Improved reliability of electricity service is especially important for existing business customers since they will experience less service interruptions and consequently their financial losses will reduce. Kenya Power Electricity & Lighting Company Ltd (KPLC) will be a beneficiary through the system loss reduction.
4. Identified Project Social Risks: Minimal adverse social risks are anticipated under this project because the installation of Distribution systems will take place within existing routes and road reserves. The project will experience some level of environmental and social risks. Most of the low and medium voltage lines will mainly be constructed along the road reserve and existing rights of ways. These may not result in physical relocation but impacts to trees and crops are likely to occur. Anticipated social impacts will be involving KPLC compensation for crops and or/trees which could be damaged during construction. Acquisition of land for substations will be on a willing buyer willing seller.
