KenGen building in Parklands, Nairobi [File-Standard]

Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has announced plans to pump an extra 5,500 Mega Watts of electricity into the national grid to deal with the rising demand for electricity mainly in its newly gazetted Olkaria green energy park in Naivasha.

With peak demand hitting 2,550mw, the highest in the country’s history, the power generating company said that it had decided to triple electricity production.

This came as the fifth investor in fish feed production committed over Sh2B to the energy park that is located in the geothermal rich area.
