Nairobi, May 1 -- A key power line linking Kenya to Zambia through Tanzania is set for completion in November 2025, raising hope for cross-border electricity imports and exports among nations covered by the high-voltage grid.

The Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco), the country's power utility, confirmed that the 400 kilovolt (kV) Tanzania-Zambia line will be completed in November 2025.

The project seeks to connect the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) with the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP).

Contracts for the transmission line were signed in July last year.
