Kenya to convert oil plants to LNG in climate

  • Will Kenya convert oil-fired power plants to liquefied natural gas by 2030?
  • Already a global leader in clean energy, Kenya plans to mothball or convert its oil-fired power plants to cleaner liquefied natural gas by 2030. Kenya plans to retire or convert heavy fuel oil-fired power plants to use liquefied natural gas by 2030 as the nation pursues a cleaner energy path to a 100% climate-friendly grid.
  • Will Kenya's thermal power plants be reconfigured?
  • State-owned Kenya Electricity Generating Co., or KenGen, is conducting a feasibility study on reconfiguring the thermal power plants that currently account for about 7% of the grid load, said Isaac Kiva, renewable energy secretary at the Energy Ministry.
  • Will Kenya's thermal power plants be converted to LNG?
  • “The idea is that those thermal power plants (with contracts) going beyond 2030 will be converted to use LNG.” The plan seeks to consolidate Kenya’s position as a leader in clean energy, with 90% of its grid already renewable, and is in line with President Uhuru Kenyatta’s push for investment in a sector that’s based on expensive technology.
  • Will Kenya get gas from Tanzania?
  • Kenya expects to get gas from Tanzania once a planned pipeline is built. In the meantime, the government is ramping up production from renewable sources and is on course to add to the grid at least 300 megawatts of clean power by the end of December, according to the energy regulator.
