Mainstreaming Wildlife Incident Management Into Utilities in East Africa
Through detailing the variety and severity of wildlife interactions with electrical infrastructures, we aim to shine a spotlight on this much understated problem faced by power utilities in East Africa. In the pages to follow, examples of wildlife interactions are listed, classifed, and explained and solutions to these incidents are provided in a clear, practical manner. By providing a strategy to address these challenges, the goal is to minimize negative interactions between wildlife and electrical infrastructure in East Africa, thereby reducing operational costs to utilities, improving the quality of electricity supply to economies, and minimizing the impact on wildlife in the region.
