The Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA) was established by an Act of Parliament Cap 442 of 1979 with the main objective of planning, coordinating and implementing development projects and programmes on the Kenyan side of the Lake Victoria Basin. In the discharge of its mandate, LBDA wishes to develop the Magwagwa Dam Multipurpose Project along the Sondu River. The Feasibility Study for the Project was conducted by SMEC International in 2011 .This is a Vision 2030 Project and a key investment opportunity in the Western Kenya region. Project Description: The proposed Magwagwa Dam site is located at 0°28’47.04”S and 35°2’29.92”E approximately 4 km downstream of the confluence of the Kipsonoi and Yurith tributaries near Magwagwa Town. The Project covers five Counties namely: Bomet, Nyamira, Kericho, Homabay, and Kisumu. The Project is geared towards improving economic development in the LBDA region and the Country as a whole. It will produce hydropower for socio-economic development, water supply for irrigation, domestic and industrial use, flood control, catchment management, fisheries development and tourism promotion. Project Scope: The Dam and Hydropower Component comprises a 95m high and 450m long concrete faced rockfill dam (CFRD), appurtenant works, and transmission line. Upon filling, a reservoir of 17.7 km 2 will be created with an active storage of 445 million cubic meters. Underground works will consist of an 11 km head race tunnel, upstream surge shaft, underground powerhouse, downstream surge chamber and a 6 km long tailrace tunnel. The powerhouse will have 3 generation units, with Francis type turbines. Each turbine will have a design output of 40 MW at a design flow of 20.2 m 3 /s and a design net head of 210 meters giving a design total plant output of 120 MW and an annual energy production of 685 GWh/yr The net command area for irrigation is 13,807ha. Phase I of the irrigation scheme development comprises the construction of 16 km long concrete lined main canal from Sondu-Miriu Powerhouse to the right bank of the Asawo river, secondary and tertiary canals, regulation structures and appurtenant works to cover 3,063ha. The Water supply scheme will involve construction of an intake structure at Magwagwa Dam, the installation of bulk water supply pipes and construction of raw water tanks and treatment plants to serve 19 service centers to serve a population of about one million inhabitants. The Phase 1 development will be limited to the provision of bulk water supply to Magwagwa Town and the existing treatment facilities at Nyakach. LBDA invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from qualified and experienced development consortium and /or individual firms with capacity to mobilise required resources, review the feasibility study reports, undertake detailed designs, and construct the project.
