Kenya expanded its hydropower capacity by a modest six megawatts (MW) last year, which saw it overtaken by two nations to slide downward in Africa rankings.

The country’s capacity grew to 824 MW in 2017, from 818 MW a year earlier, according to a new report by International Hydropower Association (IHA).
