At a time when the government is facing heightened scrutiny regarding its management of public finances, power transmission firm, Ketraco (Kenya Electricity Transmission Company), has said it has screened 14 transmission projects for implementation under the Public Private Partnership framework in its 2024-43 masterplan.
Managing Director John Mativo said negotiations are already at advanced stages for key projects set for completion in 2027. The State-run firm is working in collaboration with Africa50, a Pan-African infrastructure investor and asset manager supporting African nations' fast-track power infrastructure projects. Africa50 was established in 2014 by the African Development Bank and several African nations in which Kenya is significant shareholder.
