The government has disclosed an ambitious plan to build over 2,700 kilometres of power transmission and distribution lines to connect 1.4 million homes over the next three years even as doubts linger over the source of the funding.
National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi revealed the plan in the 2025 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) which shows that 1,742 kilometres (km) and 1,050 km of transmission and distribution lines will be built, respectively. Additionally, 33 distribution and 21 transmission substations will be set up.
