Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) and Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) have released bid documents for four contract lots covering the design, supply and installation of a 400kV overhead transmission line for the Kenya-Tanzania power interconnection project. The 508km line, with 93km in Kenya and 415km in Tanzania, will be able to transfer more than 2,000MW in either direction. The project is being funded by a $144.9m loan from the African Development Bank approved in February, alongside financing from the African Development Fund and Japan International Co-operation Agency.
