Kenya’s President, William Ruto, has commissioned KETRACO’s 132kV Lessos–Kabarnet transmission line in Baringo County, a major power infrastructure project aimed at improving electricity reliability and supporting regional economic growth.
The new transmission line is expected to strengthen the national power grid, reduce electricity outages, and provide a more stable supply of electricity to households and businesses across Baringo and neighbouring counties.
The project will further enhance the quality of power distribution and facilitate investment and industrial development in the region, creating opportunities for job creation and broader economic expansion.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, President Ruto highlighted the government’s commitment to strengthening energy infrastructure as part of ongoing efforts to spur regional development and expand access to affordable electricity nationwide.
The Lessos–Kabarnet transmission line forms part of broader government initiatives to modernise the power sector, expand the national electricity grid, and ensure a reliable power supply to underserved areas.
