This article describes energy and electricity production, consumption, import and export in Kenya.

[1] Electricity supply is mostly generated by renewable sources with the majority coming from geothermal power and hydroelectricity.

The country has the potential to produce 10,000 megawatts of geothermal-powered electricity, according to Kenya's state-owned Geothermal Development Company.

Of these, the largest 6,000, were responsible for 60 percent of the national power consumption, averaging in excess of 15,000 electricity units per month.

[14] One estimate of projected electricity supply and demand as follows:[1] OBS: Not official plan * Source: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Karanja describes the role that a coordinated approach to rural electrification can play.

The original countries were[16] (a) Burundi (b) Democratic Republic of the Congo (c) Egypt (d) Ethiopia (e) Kenya (f) Rwanda and (g) Sudan.

[18] Kenya also plans to be connected to the South African grid, through Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

[19][20] Geothermal power plants, which convert steam generated from hot rocks deep underground into electricity, have a prominent place in Kenya's overarching development plans.

[25] In September 2010 former Energy and Petroleum Ministry PS Patrick Nyoike[26] announced, that Kenya aimed to build a 1,000 MW Nuclear power plant between 2017 and 2022.

[27] For Kenya to achieve middle-income status, Nyoike viewed nuclear energy as the best way to produce safe, clean, reliable and base load (constant supply) electricity.

[33] After the collapse of negotiations to build the Uganda-Kenya Crude Oil Pipeline, Kenya began to make plans to build the 892 km (554 mi) Kenya Crude Oil Pipeline (costing $1.1 billion or KSh.110 billion/=) on its own,[34][35] expected in 2022.

The massive deficit in fuelwood supply has led to high rates of deforestation in both exotic and indigenous vegetation resulting in adverse environmental effects such as desertification, land degradation, droughts and famine.

[37] Kenya emits .03 percent of the world carbon dioxide, which is about 12.62 (Million Metric Tons of CO₂).
