The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) has doubled the amount of electricity being evacuated from Ethiopia to Tanzania to 100 megawatts (MW) as it steps up grid tests ahead of the start of a regional power trade deal.
John Mativo, Ketraco’s managing director said that the load was doubled on Tuesday, following the successful evacuation of 50MW last week. This brings the total amount of power being evacuated to 300MW, given that Ketraco also imports 200MW from Ethiopia to Kenya.
