An American trade agency has picked a Kenyan firm to conduct the feasibility study on a US-backed renewable project to develop five river-based hydroelectric power plants in Kenya.
The United States Trade Development Agency (USTDA) said in a statement it had provided an undisclosed amount of funding to Saigrene Energy Kenya Limited in grant form for the study that would eventually lead to the development of run-of-river hydroelectric plants at five unnamed sites in Kenya.
