In addition, TTDI, under guidance from KPLC, will supply safe and eco-friendly Solid Insulated Switchgears (SIS) and Gas Insulated Transformers (GIT) to fight vandalism.

"TTDI has made concerted efforts to understand and respond to the needs of Kenya Power. I believe this MoU reflects KPLC's positive evaluation of TTDI's high quality products and of our proposal to contribute towards achieving stable electricity supply," said Dr. Katsutoshi Toda, Chairman & Managing Director of TTDI.

Rapid economic growth has continuously increased demand for electric power in the country, calling for intensive investment in the transmission and distribution network. The country's access rate to power currently stands at 56 per cent with a focus to scale it up to 70 per cent by the end of next year ahead of attaining universal access by 2020. "Kenya Power is committed towards ensuring efficiency in power distribution in order to boost the country's economic development," said Dr. Chumo.
