    The Loiyangalani-Suswa transmission infrastructure project of Kenya Electricity Transmission Limited (KETRACO) was officially put into operation
    .

    The Loiyangalani-Suswa Transmission Infrastructure Project is one of Kenya's key projects to achieve Vision 2030 and aims to achieve a smooth grid connection to increase the government's promised power generation capacity to 5,000 MW
    .

    Kenya's Ministry of Energy said that the implementation of the transmission project is crucial to achieving the four major agendas of sustainable development in Kenya, and will help Kenya improve electricity supply, improve the stability and reliability of power supply, and reduce the cost
    of electricity in Kenya.

    As a result of the project, Kenya will add about 310MW of capacity to the national grid, saving at least $150 million a year in fuel
    for power generation.

    Construction started in 2010-2011 and includes the construction of a 428-kilometer 400 kilovolt (kV) transmission line that will transmit 310 MW of electricity generated by the Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) project to the national grid in Suswa (near Longonot) and the construction of two transmission substations, one at the Loiyangalani project site and one at Suswa's new terminal substation
    .

    The contract was awarded first to Siemens of France and later to NARI Group and China Power Construction Company Guizhou Engineering Co.
    , Ltd
    .
    A transmission line rated at 1,200MW will be responsible for a new generation of power plants along the area it passes, including solar, geothermal and other wind farms, without having to build another transmission line
    .

    At the same time, optical ground wires were laid along part of the Loiyangalani-Suswa area for data and communication purposes
    .
    OPGW is the most reliable connection compared to buried cables, and cables will facilitate broadband connectivity in the area where it is located, enabling faster connections to voice, data and video services, security surveillance, and other government digital services
    .
