A Kenyan energy sector delegation met with the Nuclear Energy Institute in Washington, D.C., to advance Kenya’s plans to integrate nuclear power into its energy mix by 2034, strengthening long-term energy security and regional leadership. The engagement aligns with Kenya's renewed push on nuclear energy as a reliable clean baseload to complement the country's existing energy mix- creating strong ground for strategic partnership. Kenya is positioning itself as a pace-setter in Eastern Africa, with KenGen designated to develop up to 2,000MW of nuclear capacity being the owner operator of the first nuclear power plant. Alex Wachira, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Energy & Petroleum, emphasised Kenya’s role as a gateway to the regional energy market, while Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siror, Managing Director & CEO, Kenya Power, noted that nuclear energy will provide critical baseload power to support grid stability. Kenya’s programme is anchored on its 2022 civil nuclear cooperation agreement with the United States. #PamojaTwangaa #PoweringKenya ^ZM
