Amu Power Company is a power generation company based in Nairobi, Kenya.[1]
Overview
Amu Power Company was formed as a consortium between Gulf Energy and Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed Centum Investment Company Limited.[2]
The firm was awarded the tender by the Government of Kenya to develop a 981.5 Megawatt coal-fired power plant in the Manda area of Lamu County,[3] dubbed the Lamu Coal Power Station.[4] This would be the first coal power station in East Africa and the project is valued at KSh164 Billion.[5]
The coal plant is being challenged in court and fought by local activists. Lamu is a UNESCO world heritage site that is threatened by the Plant.[6] One could therefore argue the investment is in danger of failing to take off.[7]
Hindpal Jabbal, the former chairman of Energy Regulation Commission of Kenya states that the coal plant is a massive waste of public funds as capacity charges alone will cost Kenyan Taxpayers KSh360 billion (US$360 million), annually, even if no electricity is consumed·[8]

Lamu Coal Power Station
Шаблон:MainLamu Coal Power Station is a proposed 981.5 megawatt coal-fired thermal power station in Kenya, the largest economy in the East African Community.[11] The design of the coal plant, calls for the use of new and improved plant machinery, a boiler and steam turbine generator, as well as air quality control systems. The technology, built using General Electric's latest clean-coal technology, greatly reduces emission of Sulfur dioxide, Nitrogen Oxide and particulates (dusts), to levels comparable to gas-fired power plants.[10]
