The construction of a high voltage direct current converter substation at Suswa for the power lines that will link Kenya and Ethiopian grids could commence one month from now and latest in January next year.
This follows the signing of a $230 million contract between the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company and a consortium of Siemens AG and IsoluxInginieria for the construction of the sub-station, which represents an important component of the Ethiopia – Kenya inter-connector.
