NEMA Compliance Issues Surface for Northern Energy Projects in Kenya
NEMA's Environmental Impact Assessment register for Marsabit County shows only two energy projects documented. This raises concerns about the compliance of significant projects like Lake Turkana Wind Power and the Ethiopia-Kenya transmission line.

The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has reported that its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) register lists only two energy projects in Marsabit County, raising compliance concerns for larger initiatives. Key projects, such as Lake Turkana Wind Power and the Ethiopia-Kenya electricity transmission line, may lack comprehensive EIA documentation.
Legal and regulatory scrutiny could increase due to these gaps, potentially affecting investor confidence and expansion plans. NEMA is under pressure to address the implications of these missing records, which could stem from administrative lapses or non-compliance by developers. The Commission on Administrative Justice is currently reviewing this situation.
