The Kenyan Government has signed a KSh 40.4 billion Public-Private Partnership (PPP) deal to upgrade its national power transmission network. This agreement aims to boost grid stability, integrate renewable energy, and drive economic growth across Kenya.

• The KSh 40.4 billion project was signed on Monday, December 15, by Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO), Africa50, and PowerGrid Corporation of India.
• Principal Secretary Dr Chris Kiptoo affirmed the government's commitment to energy infrastructure investments, noting the project's critical role in national resilience and economic expansion.
• The project will involve constructing two high-voltage transmission corridors: the 400 kV Lessos–Loosuk line and the 220 kV Kibos-Kakamega-Musaga line, benefiting Kakamega, Kisumu, and other western counties by reducing technical losses and load shedding.
