Kenya will host the third Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) Sustainable Energy Conference from 24 to November 27 in Olkaria, Naivasha, with the aim of attracting investment for renewable-energy and industrial projects.
Organisers expect more than 1,500 delegates representing over 80 countries and are targeting over 200 investors, 40 financing institutions, 100 utilities and power producers and 100 exhibitors.
The gathering, themed “Powering Africa’s Green Industrial Revolution”, will concentrate on mobilising finance, advancing project development, forging strategic partnerships and exploring carbon-trading opportunities.
Eng. Kibet Ronoh, KenGen’s Acting Managing Director and CEO, said “SEC 2026 is designed to move the green energy investment conversation from opportunity to execution”.
Attendees will include government officials, regulators, development finance institutions and companies seeking cleaner power, with sessions intended to link investor requirements to the needs of utilities, developers and industrial users.
Holding the event at Olkaria, Kenya’s geothermal hub, gives participants a view of an established renewable operation and an introduction to the KenGen Green Energy Park, which aims to supply geothermal electricity to manufacturing and other enterprises.
KenGen, which has an installed generation capacity of 1,786 megawatts—about 90 per cent from renewable sources—views the conference as a platform to turn renewable potential into projects that support production, employment and economic growth across Africa, where roughly 600 million people still lack electricity.
