State-run Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) plans to add 1,745 MW of electricity from geothermal sources by 2025, part of a government push to end power generation from fossil fuels. 

“You are aware that going forward, the government policy which all generators including KenGen and including independent power producers, is to eliminate generation from fossil fuels,” Moses Wekesa, Business Development Director, said during a visit to KenGen’s geothermal plants last week.
