Kenya continued to strengthen its position as one of Africa's most renewables-heavy power systems in 2025, with renewables comprising more than 80% of the power mix.
While geothermal and hydropower are the leading electricity sources, wind energy is increasingly playing an important role in diversifying supply and improving energy security. Kenya's total installed capacity for wind is 435.5 MW, making wind the country's second-largest variable renewable source after hydropower. Wind capacity is anchored by three operational projects: Lake Turkana Wind Power (310 MW), Kipeto Wind Power Station (around 100 MW) and Ngong Hills Wind Farm (around 25.5 MW).
In 2025, wind generation increased by around 13% in the first half of the year, according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, driven largely by strong performance at Lake Turkana. Rising output highlights the value of wind energy's high capacity factors and its contribution to stabilising the renewables-dominated grid.
