Kenya will sell 30MW of electricity to Rwanda via Uganda in the next three months.
Rwanda received a $50 million syndicated loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to finance the project
Works on a 400 kilovolt (kV) power transmission line running from Olkaria geothermal power production in Kenya, via Uganda to Birembo will be completed at the end of September 2015.
Rwanda signed a five-year contract with Kenya through the country’s power distributor Kenya Power. Rwanda will pay $14 cents per kilowatt of power imported. The contract will be reviewed after every two years.
Selling power to Rwanda is also part of the East African Power Pool project which promotes power exchanges between utilities in Eastern Africa region.
