KenGen’s Olkaria I upgrade to boost output to 63.3MW by 2026

The Kenya Electricity Generating Company, KenGen, is now rehabilitating the country’s oldest geothermal power plant, Olkaria I in Naivasha. This, in a bid to boost generation capacity as Kenya's electricity demand reaches historic highs. The upgrade comes as efforts by the government to lift the freeze on new power purchase agreements imposed by the national assembly continue to take root.
