Approximately 90% of Kenya's electricity is generated from renewable/clean energy sources. Of these, geothermal remains the most significant source with an estimated potential of 10,000MW, but it remains relatively unexploited with a current installed capacity of less than 985MW. Kenya is the seventh largest geothermal producer in the world.
As a result of Kenya's aggressive electrification program over the years, today national electricity access stands at 84%, having grown from 32% in 2013. The country aims to achieve universal access by the year 2030 by largely focusing on expanding in rural access.
It is expected that power generation will reach 5,000MW by the year 2030 with the bulk of it coming from clean energy sources. Kenya has a long-term goal of developing nuclear power with the first project expected in 2036. The sector presents commercial opportunities, especially in renewable sources like geothermal, solar, and wind.
GE Energy is the technology supplier for the 100MW in Kipeto wind power plant, a Development Finance Corporation (DFC) -funded project that was commissioned in late 2021. KenGen has additional planned investments in wind power in Meru and Marsabit. Kenya has high potential for solar power given irradiation levels available throughout the year.
