KenGen seeks 200 investors for green energy projects at Naivasha conference

KenGen, a leading Kenyan energy company, is set to host the Sustainable Energy Conference 2026 in Naivasha from November 24 to 27, aiming to attract investment into renewable energy and industrial projects. The conference is expected to gather over 1,500 delegates from more than 80 countries, including 200 investors, 40 financiers, power producers, and policymakers.

KenGen's Acting Managing Director and CEO, Ronoh Kibet, emphasized the conference's focus on securing funding for energy projects and leveraging electricity to drive manufacturing and job creation. Kibet highlighted Africa's need for increased investment in energy resources, noting that around 600 million people on the continent still lack access to electricity.

KenGen currently boasts an installed generation capacity of 1,786 megawatts, with 90 percent of its power sourced from renewable sources, primarily geothermal, hydro, and wind. The company is also developing the KenGen Green Energy Park at Olkaria, which will use geothermal power to support manufacturing and other industrial activities.
