Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2014 -- Kenya is investing heavily in wind power and solar, and a number of coal-fired and gas-fired facilities are due to come online this decade , significantly increase Kenya's generating capacity and reduces the risk of outages associated with hydropower. Meanwhile, consumption is set to rise dramatically as both the population and the economy grow.

Kenya's power sector is set to change dramatically over the forecast period to 2023, with hydropower to lose its dominant share of the power mix. The country is investing heavily in wind power and solar, and a number of coal-fired and gas-fired facilities are due to come online this decade.

These developments will significantly increase Kenya's generating capacity and reduces the risk of outages associated with hydropower. However, projects regularly experience delays, creating a degree of uncertainty to the outlook. Meanwhile, consumption is set to rise dramatically as both the population and the economy grow.
