The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) is edging closer to signing a Sh45 billion contract to build two key transmission lines, which will supply at least 300MW power to the national grid.
Ketraco’s Chief Executive John Mativo said in an interview that negotiations for construction of the lines under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model are expected to be concluded by March, even as the cost of the project rises by Sh3.6 billion from projections made last year.
