Kenya missed its target of commissioning the $309.26 million electricity transmission line with Tanzania, delaying start of power exchange between the two economies.

The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (Ketraco) revealed that commissioning of the line was extended to next month at the earliest from an earlier target of December last year.
