Kenya Power has floated a tender seeking to acquire distribution transformers at a cost of Sh2.11 billion, to plug a shortage occasioned by a rise in demand from industries and vandalism.

The State-owned power distributor says it is targeting 1,061 transformers whose sizes range from 200/11kVA (kilovolts ampere), 1MVA (megavolt-ampere)/11kV and 1MVA 33kV. Kenya Power floated the tender last month and interested firms had up to the end of this month to submit applications.
