Kenya injected the first dispatch of cheaper hydropower imported from Ethiopia into the national grid last week, rolling out the plan that is expected to aid a reduction in power bills for businesses and households.

The 25-year deal power import deal with Ethiopia will see Kenya Power take up a maximum capacity of 200 megawatts in the first three years, rising to 400MW for the remaining period.
