Kenya will begin constructing a nuclear power plant in 2027.
The plant has been in the pipeline for several years and is part of the country’s ambition to move to clean energy and increase energy generation. South Africa is currently the only African country to produce nuclear energy.
Justus Wabuyabo, acting CEO of the Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA), disclosed that the organization has advanced preparations to release international tenders for the building of either Kilifi or Kwale counties.
“We will do the bidding stage, as anytime between 2026 and 2027 and start construction in 2027. Construction ranges six to ten years so we are looking at 2034-35 to commission the first plant,” Mr Wabuyabo said.
