Kenya Expands Petroleum Pipeline to Boost Regional Fuel Trade

Kenya is advancing plans to expand its petroleum transportation network by extending the Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali pipeline, aiming to enhance fuel supply across East Africa. The project targets regional partners, including Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan, to facilitate efficient distribution of refined petroleum products.

Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi, speaking during the unveiling of a new pump station in Ngema, Nakuru County, said the initiative will solidify Mombasa’s role as the region’s primary and most cost-effective fuel gateway.

"Uganda is fully utilizing the corridor, while Rwanda is at 70 percent. Extending the pipeline from Eldoret will integrate more countries, driving sustainable development and economic prosperity across the region," Wandayi stated.

The newly commissioned pump station, developed by the Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) at a cost of KSh 1.3 billion ($10.9 million), will increase the product flow rate along the 14-inch western Kenya pipeline from 330 cubic meters per hour to 510 cubic meters per hour — a 69 percent boost.

The project, part of the second phase of the Line IV (Nairobi-Eldoret) Capacity Enhancement Project initiated in 2022, follows the installation of pumping stations at Nairobi Terminal (PS21) and Nakuru (PS24).

KPC Managing Director Joe Sang revealed plans to further optimize the pipeline’s flow rate to 757 cubic meters per hour upon completion of the third upgrade phase. He also highlighted an upcoming reconfiguration of the Nairobi Terminal to a 2+1 mode, ensuring uninterrupted operations with two pumps running and one on standby.

"This achievement demonstrates the growing capacity of local expertise," Sang said, commending Strata Industrial Ltd, the Kenyan contractor responsible for the project.

Strata Industrial Managing Director Francis Njogu praised the collaboration, noting, "This project proves that indigenous companies can deliver major infrastructure projects on time and within budget."

The expansion aligns with KPC’s long-term strategy to modernize petroleum infrastructure, reinforcing Kenya's position as a regional petroleum hub and strengthening economic ties within the East African Community.

Reposted from @nationalarchivestt The earliest recorded attempt at regional integration in the Caribbean was the formation of two federations in the Eastern Caribbean—namely the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands—in the 1800s. The British Government created these federations to monitor smaller British West Indian colonies under two administrative units, each with a central colonial government. Tobago was considered part of the Windward Islands until it became a ward of Trinidad in 1889.  . This photo shows a map of the Eastern Caribbean c. 1780s, long before Tobago became a ward of Trinidad. Do you notice how the shape of Trinidad differs from what we know it to be today? This is because the practice of cartography and the tools used for mapping have evolved significantly since then. .
