Nairobi, Friday, November 24, 2023: Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen), has been earmarked as the Implementing Agency for the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) as part of the Kenya Green and Resilient Expansion of Energy (GREEN) program, funded by the World Bank.
A battery energy storage. The question of power storage has become critical as Kenya embraces e-mobility which requires reliable power supplies. The Energy and Petroleum ministry targets to mainstream power storage in its electricity master plan as the country’s renewable energy generation expands.
The BESS will serve as a crucial repository for surplus energy generated from geothermal and Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) sources, enabling improved electricity service delivery to Kenyans. "KenGen is honoured to lead the implementation of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project under the GREEN program.
Separately on September 9, 2019, the US Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant to Kenya’s Craftskills Energy Limited for a feasibility study by an American firm, Delphos International for the development of a 50MW wind power plant with integrated battery storage capacity in Kenya.
The project would help shore up manufacturing in the country,” Windlab CEO Roger Price said during the groundbreaking for the project. And last week, Kenya Power announced plans to set up a grid-level 100 MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system (ESS) by 2024 to store power at low demand to be used during peak power demand.
There are opportunities for Utility Scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Two thirds of Kenya’s electricity is generated from renewable/clean energy sources. Of this, wind power accounts for 15% (435MW) while solar accounts for just under 2% of total installed capacity (51MW) with these numbers expected to continue to grow.
