Kenya and Tanzania will inaugurate cross-border electricity trade next Wednesday, marking a milestone in regional energy cooperation.
The $309.26 million (Sh39.97 billion) transmission line, connecting the two nations, will officially go live on December 11, 2024, according to the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) Managing Director John Mativo.
This collaboration positions Tanzania as Kenya's third electricity trade partner after Ethiopia and Uganda enhancing efforts to mitigate power shortages and blackouts in both countries.
