BMI View: Kenya’s power sector continues to diversify its energy generation capability. Although hydropower generation remains vulnerable to drought and variations in rainfall, additional hydro facilities are being developed in order to reduce the country’s dependence on costly oil-fired capacity. Over the longer term, non-hydrorenewables are to play a much bigger role in the country’s energy mix. Most notably, we see geothermal as the favoured form of renewable energy, as its potential is considerable. Coal-based generating schemes are to provide electricity supply over the medium term.
BMI anticipates that Kenya’s overall power generation will grow by an annual average of 12.72% between 2013 to 2017, to reach 14.92TWh. Driving this growth will be a 36.14% annual average increase in non-hydropower renewables. Thermal is also expected to increase by an annual average of 3.49%, while hydropower power generation is expected to decline by an annual average of 2.50% respectively over the period. Oil-fired generation is expected to fall by an annual average of 17.54% as hydro increases in availability. We expect coal-fired power to become commercially available from 2015 and beyond.
