Is This Kenya’s Most Ambitious Project Yet? (SGR Electrification)

Описание: Kenya is planning a major upgrade in its railway system — electrifying the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Mombasa to Malaba in a deal worth an estimated KSh 250 billion.

In early-stage talks with Turkish construction giant Yapı Merkezi, the project could cut operating costs by up to 33%, increase train speeds, and significantly reduce carbon emissions.

But this isn’t just about faster trains…

This move could reshape East Africa’s entire logistics network, especially as Uganda is already building its electric SGR with the same company — creating the possibility of a fully integrated electric railway corridor across the region.

In this video, we break down:

Why Kenya wants to electrify the SGR
How much it will cost — and who will fund it
The economic and environmental impact
The connection to Uganda’s railway project
The risks, challenges, and long-term payoff

Is this the future of transport in Africa… or another expensive infrastructure gamble?

Watch till the end to find out.
