State-owned KenGen #ticker:KENGEN is seeking seeking consultants to help convert existing thermal plants generating about 720 megawatts (MW) into gas fired plants in fresh bid to lower cost of electricity for homes and businesses.
KenGen, which relies largely on hydropower and geothermal, said the conversion will help lower the cost of power in the country by eliminating reliance on the more costly heavy fuel oil that KenGen has resorted to in the past during dry spells.
