6 FAQs about [Kenya hybrid power systems]

Does Kenya have a power grid?

Distribution: Kenya Power (KP) is currently the sole distribution company in Kenya, and operates Kenya’s interconnected grid, as well as several off-grid stations in the northern regions of the country. Impressively, KP more than doubled access in Kenya from 26% of households in 2013 to 77% in 2018, meeting best-in-class benchmarks globally.

What is Kenya's wind power potential?

Kenya is estimated to have a wind power potential of 3,000MW. The Lake Turkana Wind Power Plant is the single largest wind power generation plant in Africa supplying 310MW to the grid. Additionally, GE Energy is the technology supplier for the 100MW in Kipeto wind power plant, a DFC-funded project that was commissioned in late 2021.

What is Kenya's energy mix?

Current Energy Mix: Kenya’s energy mix predominantly consists of green energy with geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar accounting for roughly 81% generation 2021. The remainder is filled by thermal, biomass, and imports.

Does Kenya have solar power?

Kenya has a high potential for solar power given the high irradiation levels available throughout the year. Kenya added 120MW of solar power to the grid in 2021, raising the total generation to 172MW. There are various other solar projects in different stages that are envisioned to come online from 2023.

What is Kenya's energy sector like?

The sector presents opportunities for trade and investment, especially in renewable sources like geothermal, solar, and wind. Around a third of Kenya’s installed capacity is owned and operated by IPPs across several plants, including small-scale hydro plants, geothermal, biomass, wind, solar, and heavy fuel oil plants.

Does Kenya have a nuclear power partnership with China?

In 2015, Kenya signed a nuclear power cooperation agreement with China, enabling Kenya to obtain expertise and technical support. In addition, Kenya signed a partnership agreement with three South Korean nuclear power firms and cooperation agreements with Russia and Slovakia.
