  • 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. Rolling blackouts enforced by Kenya Power highlight the strain on the national grid, resulting in a 20-30% decline in hydro electricity year-over-year. 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. The firm recently expanded its Olkaria geothermal plant, boosting its clean energy footprint. For DACH investors, KenGen represents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity amid Africa's energy transition, though currency and weather fluctuations pose ongoing challenges.
