Kenya has unveiled a $2 billion green energy expansion plan aimed at strengthening its national power grid and positioning the country as Africa’s renewable energy leader.
The new investment will fund large-scale wind, solar, and geothermal projects, including expansions to the Lake Turkana Wind Power complex and several geothermal sites in the Rift Valley.
Kenya already generates more than 80% of its electricity from renewable sources — one of the highest ratios in the world.
Officials say the new projects will help meet rising domestic demand, reduce reliance on costly diesel plants, and create thousands of jobs.
The government also plans to export surplus electricity to neighbouring countries through improved regional interconnections.
