A Busia-based sugar company owned by billionaire Rai family plans to start production of 1.5 megawatts (MW) of electricity from bagasse, making it the latest miller to cut its reliance on the national grid.
West Kenya’s Olepito Sugar factory says in its application for an electric power generation licence to the energy regulator, that the power generated will be used to run its operations at its plant located in Busia County.
