Renewable Sources Sources Sources Sources

Geothermal

Kenya is the eighth largest geothermal producer in the world. Geothermal will remain the most significant source with an estimated potential of 10,000 MW, but it is relatively unexploited with a current installed capacity of 863 MW. However, the trend is changing, and various projects are currently underway by both the public and private sector that can realize over 1,100 MW capacity.

Solar

Kenya has a high potential for solar power. The government plans to increase the solar energy generation capacity to 600 MW by 2030. The estimated solar potential in Kenya is almost 15,000 MW

Transmission

Kenya experiences approximately 16% system loss of generated power due to aging transmission and distribution networks. To address this, Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) is constructing 4,500 kms of new lines. Kenya will also see the high voltage 400kV and 500kV DC lines, and three major regional inter-connectors to Ethiopia, Uganda, and Tanzania. KETRACO is planning an additional 4,200 kms lines to further strengthen the grid.

Distribution

Kenya Power (KP) is currently the sole distribution company operating both grid and off-grid. KP has been assisted in this effort by Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC). REREC’s mandate was to accelerate rural electrification, and since inception in 2006, it has helped move rural electrification from 4% to 32% of rural households.
