Construction of the line alongside two others was cancelled in October 2024 after indictment of Gautam Adani in the US.
Engineering, procurement, and construction of the Gilgil-Thika-Malaa-Konza line will cost an estimated Sh23.5 billion.
Kenya has tapped an advisory fund of the World Bank to revive construction of a critical Sh49 billion electricity transmission line and substations, which had earlier been awarded to the embattled Adani Group.
Mr John Mativo, managing director of the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company, said discussions with the World Bank are already underway to tap new investors expected to build the 210-kilometre 400 kilovolts (kV) Gilgil-Thika-Malaa-Konza and two substations through a public private partnership (PPP) model.
