Abstract
The Kenyan power industry is at its developmental stage but, with high
potential to grow robustly in the short to medium term. The growth of the
industry will be a direct response to rising demand for power. The industrial
growth, especially in the manufacturing and construction sectors has
significantly increased the demand for power in Kenya. In response, the
government has embarked on an energy recovery program to rehabilitate the
power industry. The program includes upgrading and expanding existing power
plants as well as inviting private companies to invest in the power industry.
