The general objective of this study was to identify the most innovative cost-effective ways of financing and developing electricity transmission infrastructure in Kenya.
Revised in March 2026, this map focuses on power sector infrastructure across Kenya. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type –
in some sections of the network, such as Kenya''s western region. Diversifying power sources and their locations, building new transmission lines, installing reactors, and reinforcing transmission lines and
economic growth and efforts for further electrification rate improvement, Kenya is rapidly expanding its power grid. While there exists 2,328km of transmission lines, another 2,500km transm
