KPLC to renew deal with most expensive gas plant

Kenya Power will sign a fresh Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Muhoroni Gas Turbine —owned by KenGen and the most expensive thermal plant in the country— to shore up power supply to western Kenya.

Peter Njenga, managing director of KenGen, said talks are currently underway with the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) over the tariff to be charged, with the deal expected to be for one year.
