]]> GURGAON. Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) has partnered with Africa50 to sign a significant Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement for developing critical transmission infrastructure in Kenya. This landmark project includes the construction of the 400 kV Lessos–Loosuk and 220 kV Kisumu–Kakamega–Musaga transmission systems, with a concession period of 30 years. The initiative marks Africa’s first Independent Transmission Project (ITP) and represents POWERGRID’s inaugural project-finance international transmission venture in Africa. The project aims to strengthen Kenya’s national grid, enhance system reliability, and enable efficient power evacuation from renewable-rich regions to major load centers, reflecting growing confidence in private sector participation in Africa’s power transmission sector.

The agreement was signed in the presence of senior officials from both sides, including Dr. R. K. Tyagi, Chairman & MD of POWERGRID, and key Kenyan government representatives such as Principal Secretaries from the Energy and Treasury departments. Leveraging Africa50’s regional expertise and financial structuring capabilities, alongside POWERGRID’s vast technical and operational experience, this collaboration underscores a strategic move towards sustainable infrastructure development. With POWERGRID’s extensive global footprint and proven track record of delivering large-scale transmission solutions across diverse geographies, this partnership signals a new chapter in Africa’s power sector, fostering regional integration, renewable energy development, and increased energy security.
