Dangote Industries is planning a significant expansion of its proposed Lamu refinery project to include a 1,000MW liquefied natural gas (LNG) power plant, a move that could boost Kenya's electricity generation capacity.

• The power plant aims for a capacity of 1,000MW, potentially alleviating Kenya's electricity shortages.
• Key organizations involved are Dangote Industries and the Kenyan government.
• The plant would utilize LNG supplied from Tanzania, with discussions on pipeline or tanker transport underway.
