Nairobi, 01 July-(ANA)-Kenya's largest hydro-electric dam has been shut down because of low water levels, raising fears that power prices may rise in the East African country.
The Kenya Electricity Generating Company said poor and late rains had forced the closure of the 14 megawatt Masinga plant on the Tana River.
It is only the second time in 28 years Masinga has closed.
Its remaining water is to be released to a dam downstream in an effort to reduce any impact on the national grid. (ANA)
