Kenya's energy sector is a diverse blend of renewable and non-renewable sources.
As of December 2024, geothermal energy leads the mix, contributing 41.7 per cent of the total energy production, showcasing the country's commitment to clean and sustainable power.
Hydro energy follows with 24.7 per cent, capitalizing on Kenya's river systems. Wind energy is the third most significant source, contributing 13.1 per cent, driven by projects like Lake Turkana Wind Power.
Non-renewable sources, such as imports (8.8 per cent) and thermal energy (8.2 per cent), highlight gaps in local generation.
Solar, though contributing a smaller share at 3.5 per cent, has potential for growth.
Kenya's geothermal capacity stands at 985 MW.
