KenGen is actively exploring new geothermal fields across Kenya, including Suswa, Olkaria, Menengai, and Sirali in Baringo, in response to a significant surge in the country's electricity demand. This initiative follows the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) reporting a record peak power demand of 2,362.28 megawatts (MW) on July 23, 2025.

• The Olkaria geothermal fields currently contribute 754 MW to the national grid and have a potential of 10,000 MW.
• Principal Secretary for Energy Alex Wachira stated that KenGen plans to add an extra 63MW to the national grid by September next year from a revamp project at Olkaria Power Plant, costing Sh15.6B, which is 76 per cent complete.
• KenGen Chief Executive Peter Njenga announced plans to supply an additional 1,500MW from renewable sources, including geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar, within the next ten years.
