Families affected by Kenya-Tanzania electricity project yet to be compensated – Africa Development Bank

According to the AfDB, Ketraco has failed to compensate impacted families Ksh64.719 million ($486,426) to complete the Kenyan side of the line.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) has expressed worry over Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketracofailure )’s to reimburse residents along the power line to Tanzania on time.

The line, expected to have a transfer capacity of 2,000 megawatts, would allow the two nations to exchange electricity, mostly hydropower and renewable energy, and reduce dependency on thermal plants for a reliable and inexpensive supply.
