Water levels at Kenya’s biggest electricity generation dam have remained at optimum, in what looks set to ensure stable production of hydro power and prevent electricity prices from skyrocketing.

KenGen, the agency that owns the five major hydro dams along the Seven Forks cascade, disclosed that water levels at Masinga Dam hit 1,056.97 meters this week, surpassing the highest level of 1,056.5 metres.
