Electricity imports between January and March this year hit an all-time high, as the country increasingly turned to Ethiopia and Uganda even as generation from the dams started picking up.

Kenya imported 408.78 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) from the two countries in the period, a 41.7 per cent rise from 288.3 GWh shipped in the same period last year, according to official data.
