Amu Power has to re-conduct a study of the plant's impact on Lamu, an Indian Ocean tourist haunt that includes a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its environment.
In this file photo taken on June 18, 2019 a green turtle hatchling crawls towards the ocean after emerging from a nest on the beach at Manda island, one of four main island's of the Lamu archipelago where life has changed little over the centuries in this part of Kenya's north coast, however residents fear their pristine environment will soon be blighted by a coal-fired power station spewing noxious gases.
Judge Mohammed Balala “set aside” an earlier decision granting a licence to developers Amu Power, who wanted to build East Africa’s first-ever coal-fired power plant near the Lamu archipelago. But campaigners argue the scheme is costly, damaging and out of kilter with the global switch towards renewables, which are safer and increasingly cheaper.
