Who is the implementing agency for the Kenyan battery energy storage system?
The Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen), has been designated to be the Implementing Agency for the Kenyan Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which is part of the Kenya Green and Resilient Expansion of Energy (GREEN) program, funded by the World Bank.
Does Kenya need battery energy storage?
A battery energy storage. The question of power storage has become critical as Kenya embraces e-mobility which requires reliable power supplies. The Energy and Petroleum ministry targets to mainstream power storage in its electricity master plan as the country’s renewable energy generation expands.
What type of energy does Kengen produce?
KenGen is the leading electric power generating company in Kenya, generating 1904MW, which represents a market share of 65% of the nation’s installed capacity, making KenGen the largest energy producer in East Africa. The company’s energy mix includes Hydro (825.69 MW), Geothermal (799 MW), Solar (253.5MW), Wind (25.5MW).
