The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) is set to initiate the process of replacing conventional transformers in vandalism-prone areas with new types that do not use oil in a bid to beat vandals.
The firm has already tendered for supply of about 100 dry type transformers to be installed in Kiambu, Nyeri, Thika, Dagoretti Corner, Ruiru, Gatundu, Limuru and Kitengela which experience high cases of theft.
