African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved a Sh4 billion (26.1 million euros) loan to construct an underground power transmission line as part of the Kenya-Ethiopia electricity highway to boost power supply at the Laikipia Airbase and surrounding areas.
The pan-African lender disclosed its review of the Kenya-Ethiopia electricity highway project, saying the 132 kilovolts underground cable network stretching 16.5 kilometres will link Nanyuki and Rumuruti substations.
