Zutari’s solutions resulted in improved hydrological assessments, enabling better turbine alignment, sizing and selection. This led to reduced construction costs and designs that comply with International Finance Corporation (IFC) performance standards.
A refined method for calculating deemed energy was proposed for inclusion in the power purchase agreement, along with other technical inputs that strengthened the project’s financial viability.

The Buchangu and Sirwa hydropower schemes are now finance-ready, thanks to Zutari’s multi-disciplinary approach and deep technical insight. These projects are poised to contribute to Kenya’s renewable energy goals and provide sustainable power to the region.
