Workshop: World Bank and IFC
The African School of Regulation supported a workshop organised by the World Bank and International Finance Corporation (IFC) in Nairobi, examining regulatory strategies to attract private investment in electricity transmission infrastructure.
Discussions explored transmission business models, legal and policy frameworks, project financing and approaches to managing investment risks. International experiences from India, Brazil and Latin America provided insights into expanding transmission networks and strengthening investor confidence.
The workshop also examined World Bank guarantee instruments and asset recycling as mechanisms to support transmission investment, with relevance to Kenya’s efforts to modernise its grid.
