Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) and Kenya Power have disclosed a new deal that will see the expensive thermal power plant in Muhoroni, Kisumu County continue supplying electricity to the grid for at least a year.

The electricity-generating firm says it signed a new power purchase agreement (PPA) with Kenya Power on September 26 this year, effectively returning Muhoroni Geothermal Power Plant to the grid after being retired in mid-2023.
