KenGen is seeking to establish a local manufacturing plant for transformers and motors to diversify its revenues that now come mostly from the sale of electricity to Kenya Power.

The company, which is listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), is one of the main consumers of distribution transformers and power motors alongside the likes of Kenya Power, the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) and the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (Rerec).
