KETRACO’s mandate is to plan, design, construct, own, operate and maintain high voltage electricity transmission infrastructure and regional power inter connectors. In carrying out this mandate, the Company is expected to develop a robust grid system in order to:-

(a) Improve quality, reliability and safety of electricity supply throughout the country;
(b) Transmit electricity to areas that are currently not supplied from the national grid;
(c) Evacuate power from the planned generation plants;
(d) Provide a link with the neighboring countries in order to facilitate power exchange trade in the East Africa region;
(e) Reduce electricity transmission losses hence reduce the cost to the economy, and
(f) Protect electricity consumers from high cost of power by absorbing the capital transmission infrastructure.

Why can’t construction start at every location at the same time?

Before construction can begin at a transmission-line location, various processes may need to be completed, including:

▪️ Ownership and documentation verification
▪️ Valuation and compensation
▪️ Easement registration
▪️ Succession processes
▪️ Access arrangements
▪️ Resolution of ownership and other legal matters

Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO) continues to engage affected landowners and relevant stakeholders to address outstanding matters and facilitate construction.

The Project Implementation Team (PIT) for the 132kV Narok–Bomet Transmission Line Project is meeting to review progress, assess implementation status, and coordinate next steps toward successful delivery.

The meeting focuses on key implementation areas, including project progress and status, wayleave acquisition, and sectional updates. It allows the team to assess on-the-ground progress, identify emerging challenges, and agree on actions requiring follow-up.

The Narok–Bomet Transmission Line Project is part of efforts to strengthen Kenya’s electricity transmission network and improve the capacity and reliability of power infrastructure in the region. The project is expected to support improved electricity supply, create opportunities for local economic activity, and contribute to socio-economic development along the project corridor.

As implementation progresses, sustained coordination, stakeholder engagement, and timely resolution of emerging issues remain key to moving the project forward and ultimately delivering infrastructure that supports reliable, accessible, and sustainable electricity for Kenya’s development.

Our transmission infrastructure is reinforcing and upgrading the power system to increase electricity access across the country.

The 132kV Awendo–Masaba Transmission Line Project has increased power transfer capacity and improved access to reliable electricity in Migori County and surrounding areas.

The improved reliability of electricity supply in the region is also supporting industrial operations, including Sony Sugar Factory and Getonyanya Sweet Potatoes Factory, while strengthening critical public services such as healthcare services at Migori County Referral Hospital.

The project further supports reliable electricity supply to the Isebania One Stop Border Post (IOBP), facilitating efficient customs and border-control operations and supporting cross-border trade between Kenya and Tanzania.
