Kenyan authorities have failed to disclose the electricity tariff that consumers will pay for the two high-voltage lines to be built at a cost of Sh40.4 billion under a public-private partnership (PPP) to ease capacity hitches on the national grid and evacuate power to western Kenya.
Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) says that the energy regulator has already set a provisional tariff to help raise an estimated Sh5.6 billion every year as revenues for the project. The firm did not disclose the tariff for the project, which involves the construction of the 400 kilovolts (kV) Lessos-Lossuk line and the 220kV Kisumu-Kibos-Kakamega-Musaga line.
