Kenya will sell its surplus electricity to Rwanda. Kenya Power said it would start selling 30MW of electricity to Rwanda in the next three months. Rwanda has bagged a $50 million syndicated loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to finance the project.
Jean Bosco Mugiraneza, the Rwanda Energy Group Chief, said that works on the power transmission line for the electricity from Kenya will be completed this month. “We are also pushing the company working on the power substation at Nsango to speed up activities so that we are ready to start importing power by the end of the year,” he said.
