  • KenGen Faces Challenges from Kenya Power Issues and Drought Amid Energy Transition
    March 22, 2026, 9:36 AM EDT. Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) is confronting significant operational headwinds as prolonged drought cuts hydropower output, which comprises 55% of its generation capacity.

KenGen's stock, traded on the Nairobi Securities Exchange in Kenyan Shillings, has felt pressure amid investor concerns over revenue and regulatory risks. However, the company's geothermal assets, contributing over 40% of output, offer some stability and align with growing renewable energy demand.
