The Treasury has proposed to give Kenya Power Sh27.8 billion to upgrade the transmission network as the government steps in to help the utility firm improve its shaky electricity supply.

“To scale up the production of reliable and affordable energy, I have proposed an allocation of Sh69.7 billion to the energy subsector. This includes Sh27.8 billion for the National Grid System,” Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u said on Thursday when he presented his 2024/25 Budget Speech to Parliament.
