KETRACO’s mandate is to plan, design, construct, own, operate and maintain high voltage electricity transmission infrastructure and regional power inter connectors. In carrying out this mandate, the Company is expected to develop a robust grid system in order to:-

(a) Improve quality, reliability and safety of electricity supply throughout the country;
(b) Transmit electricity to areas that are c

urrently not supplied from the national grid;
(c) Evacuate power from the planned generation plants;
(d) Provide a link with the neighboring countries in order to facilitate power exchange trade in the East Africa region;
(e) Reduce electricity transmission losses hence reduce the cost to the economy, and
(f) Protect electricity consumers from high cost of power by absorbing the capital transmission infrastructure.
