Kenya’s solar power generation capacity hit a fresh record last year following the commissioning of the 40-megawatt (MW) Alten Kenya Solarfarms plant at Kesses in Uasin Gishu.
Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), which was sourced from Kenya Power, showed that solar power generation jumped to a record 491.48 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2023.
