Kenya: Nairobi Metro and KenGen Team Up for Waste to Energy Tender

By No Comments
Pic: Dandora dump is a sprawling dumpsite, over 30 acres, in the heart of the Nairobi slums of Korogocho, Baba Ndogo, Mathare and Dandora. It opened in 1975 with World Bank funds and was deemed full by 2001. Yet it continues to operate, and people at the very bottom rungs of the socioeconomic ladder come here as their last hope to make a living from scavenging the waste, but in the same time exposing themselves to tremendous pollution.

Tender Announcement
  • The Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) – responsible for solid waste management in the city county – has partnered with Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) to establish a waste to energy plant at the Dandora Dumpsite.
  • The city of Nairobi generates about 3,000 tonnes of solid waste per day and is transported to the main dumpsite at Dandora within Nairobi, approximately 10km from the Nairobi City centre.
  • In this implementation arrangement, NMS will avail the land within or around Dandora Dumpsite and solid waste, while KenGen will finance, develop, and operate the power plant.

KenGen now invites expressions of interest (EoI) from eligible consultancy firms to conduct a feasibility study for development and operation of a waste to energy plant at the Dandora Dumpsite, but in the event that this site is not suitable, the consultant shall recommend an alternative site.

Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualified and experienced to perform the services. For this purpose, documented evidence of recent and similar services must be submitted.

Green Building Africa promotes the need for net carbon zero buildings and cities in Africa. We are fiercely independent and encourage outlying thinkers to contribute to the #netcarbonzero movement. Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
