The State has picked a consortium of two firms, Grid Solution SAS and India's Larsen & Toubro, to build a new €85 million (Sh12.26 billion at current exchange rates) national electricity dispatch hub to be managed by the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco).

The National System Control Centre (NSCC) is currently located on Nairobi’s Juja Road was run by Kenya Power until January 2022 when the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) handed the role to Ketraco.
