Two private firms have lined up power transmission line and substation projects worth Sh187.1 billion under Public Private Partnership (PPP) agreements with the government, raising hopes of improving the country’s shaky grid that has been blamed for frequent outages.

National Treasury disclosure shows that Africa 50 and Adani Energy Solutions Ltd are proposing to put up 237 kilometres and 388 kilometres of high-voltage power lines, respectively.
