Kenya has signed an agreement with the governments of Germany and the European Union to secure funding for the redevelopment of KenGen’s Gogo Hydropower Plant and the Green Resilient Electricity System Project (GRESP).
The German Government, through KfW, is committing €35 million, while the European Union (EU) is committing €17.94 million towards these transformative projects.
The agreement was signed by the National Treasury and Economic Planning Cabinet Secretary, Hon. FCPA John Mbadi, on behalf of Kenya.
The initiatives will enhance power reliability in Western and Nyanza regions, reduce grid losses, support industries, and strengthen the country’s energy security. The upgrade of the Gogo Hydropower Plant, to be implemented by KenGen Kenya, will expand its generation capacity from 2 MW to 8.6 MW.
This marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s clean energy journey and underscores KenGen’s continued role as a driver of sustainable growth and industrialization in the country.
