Kenya’s most expensive Muhoroni thermal power plant back on grid

The government has reconnected the Muhoroni Gas Turbine (GT) plant owned by KenGen to the national grid after more than a year of closure, signalling the country’s desperation for sufficient power supply.

Official data from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that the plant--which produces the most expensive power in the country--generated 688,650 kilowatt hours (kWh) in November, marking its first month of operation since it resumed generation.
