Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) is East Africa’s leading electricity generating company, established in 1954 under the name Kenya Power Company (KPC). The shareholders of KPC contracted the East Africa Power and Lighting Company (EAP&L) to manage KPC. In 1983, EAP&L changed to Kenya Power and Lighting Company. In 1998, the Kenya Power Company transitioned to Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) to focus exclusively on electricity generation. In 2006, the Government of Kenya listed KenGen on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, opening it to public investment and setting the stage for sustainable growth and innovation.
Today, KenGen generates about 60% of Kenya’s electricity, with an installed capacity of 1,786 MW drawn from hydro, geothermal, wind, and thermal sources. The company operates major power plants in five regions: Geothermal Region, Western Region, Eastern Region, Central Office and Thermal Region. Beyond Kenya, KenGen provides geothermal expertise and energy development services to countries such as Ethiopia, Djibouti, Tanzania, Eswatini among others.
