The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) will build battery storage for its maiden Sh8.8 billion (€60 million) solar power plant at the Seven Forks dams, allowing the firm to supply electricity to the national grid during peak demand.
Disclosures by the financier of the project, Agence Française de Développement (AFD) show the battery storage will have a capacity of 3MW/ 4.5MWh (Megawatt-hour), in what will most likely make it the second such facility in Kenya.
