Rights groups based in Lamu have opposed the move by the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to approve the Sh200 billion coal-fired power plant set to be established at Kwasasi in Hindi Division, Lamu West.

In February 2017, ERC approved the construction of the plant in Lamu after rejecting objections to the project by the Save Lamu Organisation.
