This project will provide electrical connections to nearly 13,000 households (approx 235,000 people) and provide electricity to schools, health centers, agricultural enterprises and other vital infrastructure. The provision of modern energy will help boost food security and incomes as the project area encompasses large expanses of agricultural land used for growing subsutance and cash crops.
