The share of thermal energy fed to the national grid hit a four-year high in the first nine months amid a sustained decline in electricity drawn from the hydro dams.
An analysis of data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that Kenya Power tapped 1,232.03 gigawatt hours (Gwh) in the nine months to September last year, increasing the share of thermal power to the national power mix to 13 percent from 9.3 percent in a similar period of 2021.
