Electrical Services in Matungulu

Where Matungulu sits in Machakos. Of the 5 constituencies in this county we hold confirmed elevation data for, Matungulu is the 2nd highest — and those constituencies span 461 m between highest and lowest. That spread is the reason a county-level figure is not good enough to size against: two sites in Machakos can need different machines for the same load.

Against the county headquarters. Matungulu sits 101 m below Machakos and runs 2.1 °C hotter on a design day. That is a large enough difference that specifying from the county figure would put you in the wrong place — worth quoting against the local numbers instead.

Nearby, for comparison. Masinga at 1,147 m, Mwala at 1,256 m, Yatta at 1,315 m, Kangundo at 1,608 m. Sites within a few kilometres of each other can still differ enough to matter, which is why we size against a measured site altitude rather than a district average.

Getting there. Matungulu is roughly 47 km east of our Embakasi, Nairobi workshop in a straight line. Our mobile workshop covers all 47 counties, so attendance here is routine rather than exceptional.

How to read these figures. They describe Matungulu, the settlement these measurements were taken at, which is not necessarily the centre of Matungulu — treat them as a local reference point, not your site value. Derates are planning indications (about 1% per 100 m above 300 m, about 2% per 5 °C above 25 °C); the engine's own derate table governs. Elevation: GeoNames, via the Open-Meteo Geocoding API.
