Kenya now generates 92% of its electricity from renewable sources—geothermal, wind, hydro, and solar—making it a global leader in clean energy. The Geothermal Development Company added 100MW from Menengai, while Lake Turkana Wind Power operated at full 310MW capacity in 2023. Kenya Power’s green energy sales attracted data centers and EV manufacturers seeking carbon-neutral operations. The Ministry of Energy aims for 100% renewables by 2030 and is developing mini-grids for 5 million off-grid citizens. Challenges include grid intermittency during droughts and high upfront investment. Still, Kenya’s model is being studied across Africa, with Ethiopia and Rwanda seeking technical partnerships.
