Another challenge with renewable energy in Kenya is that a substantial proportion of renewable energy resources are unexploited. Although the majority of Kenya's electricity power mix is derived from renewable sources, Kenya harnesses only about 30% of its hydropower sources, 4% of its geothermal resources, and a much smaller proportion of its ...
By 2030 Kenya aims to have 5,530 MW of geothermal power or 51% of total capacity. [5] This will make it Kenya's largest source of clean energy by 2030. Geothermal power plants have a prominent place in Kenya's overarching development plans. These include the Vision 2030, the NCCAP, and the current ‘5000+ MW in 40 months initiative’.
Total renewable energy capacity is at 60%, with most coming from hydropower. [6] In July 2019, Kenya opened Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) which is the largest wind power plant in Africa. This project is part of the country's ambitious plan of reaching 100% green energy by 2020.

Kenya has historically relied on imported crude oil and natural gas from nations such as the United Arab Emirates to provide electricity. [7] [8] Over the past two decades the nation is gradually reducing its reliance on fossil fuels through investments in renewable energy such as wind, solar, geothermal, and hydro powers (source of renewable energy which uses the natural flow of moving water ...
