Dangote Industries is set to construct a 1,000-megawatt liquefied natural gas (LNG) power plant in Kenya, as part of its proposed refinery project in Lamu. The Kenyan government is currently negotiating with Dangote Industries to increase the power plant's capacity from 500MW to 1,000MW, aiming to address domestic electricity shortages and lessen reliance on intermittent power sources.
Utilising LNG fuel, the plant would create a stable baseload of electricity and strengthen regional energy corridors, potentially lowering energy costs for consumers. The project, which relies on gas supplies from Tanzania, is anticipated to serve as a key component of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport corridor, fostering economic growth in the region.
