Kenya invites expressions of interest for gas and coal fired power plants

The Kenyan government has invited expressions of interest for the development of two power plants, a 7-800MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant including a floating storage and regasification unit at Dongo Kundu, near Mombasa, and a 900-1,000MW coal fired power plant in Lamu. The projects form part of the government’s plan to boost generation capacity by 5,000MW over 40 months, with natural gas and coal respectively adding 1,050MW and 1,920MW to the proposed total.
