Kenya has taken a significant step towards strengthening its electricity infrastructure after the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) successfully energised the Sh8.4 billion Isinya–Konza 400kV transmission line and Konza substation, a project expected to boost investor confidence and accelerate industrial development in the country's flagship smart city.
The newly commissioned infrastructure comprises a 98-kilometre double-circuit 400kV transmission line linking Isinya and Konza and a state-of-the-art 400/132/66kV substation.
The project is designed to enhance electricity transmission capacity, improve grid stability and guarantee reliable power supply to Konza Technopolis and the rapidly growing lower eastern region.
