Kenya has turned to Tanzania to boost electricity supply amid a rising demand and a freeze on new power purchase agreements (PPAs), underscoring its reliance on neighbouring countries to avert power rationing.

Kenya Power imported 18.86 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of power from Tanzania between December 2024 and March this year, compared to the 15.33GWh it exported to Dodoma during the same period, following completion of a line meant to enable electricity exchange between the two countries.
