Kenya Advances Major Energy and Agricultural Infrastructure Projects - December 2025

Kenya has selected Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) to operate its first nuclear power plant, a pivotal step towards adding up to 10 gigawatts of new electricity capacity for industrial growth. In a separate energy sector development, Kenya Power has digitized its electricity connection application process, requiring all new applications to be submitted exclusively through its online platform to improve efficiency. In agriculture, the government is transforming the Galana Kulalu area into Kenya's first Agricultural Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The transformation was announced by Agriculture and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe. This new SEZ is designed to boost large-scale farming and food security by attracting global agribusiness investors.
