President William Ruto has announced that Kenya will begin constructing a 2,000-megawatt (MW) nuclear power plant in Siaya County in 2027, with the facility expected to be commissioned by 2034.
The President said Kenya is committed to increasing its installed electricity capacity from the current 3,300MW to at least 10,000MW over the next five to seven years, with 3,000MW of this capacity to come from nuclear energy.
