Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has received Cabinet approval to embark on the Gogo Hydropower Redevelopment Project, bringing relief to the people of Western Kenya.
The decision was made during a Cabinet meeting chaired by President William Ruto at State Lodge Kisumu.
The Project, situated along the banks of River Kuja in Migori County, is a visionary initiative poised to elevate the dam’s electricity generation capacity from 2MW to 8.6MW.
KenGen Managing Director and CEO Eng. Peter Njenga said the approval of the project is a momentous milestone for the people of Western Kenya and a testament to the government’s commitment to regional development.
He added that the project will create economic growth through job creation for local communities.
The Cabinet has also approved the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Growth Policy which outlines a path to progressively reduce the dependence of 70% of Kenyan households on biomass, kerosene and other less eco-friendly cooking fuels.
