Technical FAQs 3

What are the opportunities for utility scale battery energy storage systems?

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.

Where is the Seven Forks solar-plus-storage project located?

Located near Kamburu Dam in Embu County, approximately 150 km northeast of Nairobi, the Seven Forks solar-plus-storage project will not only inject clean energy into the national grid but also enhance grid stability through integrated battery storage. The scope includes:

How much Bess is needed in Kenya?

KP believes that more than 480MW of BESS is required across different locations in the country, such as western Kenya, where there is inadequate transmission capacity at peak times as well as at substations along Kenya’s coast.
