Kenya is expected to become the next producer of nuclear energy in 2025 if it passes a thorough test by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The government has planned to have a nuclear reactor between 2022 and 2025 to increase the country’s energy needs that are seen growing by more than 10 times than the current installed capacity of 1,700MW.
The plant with a planned capacity of 1,000MW could either be located at the Coastal region or near Lake Victoria due to large volumes of water needed to operate it.
The government estimates the plant to cost about Ksh 301 billion to put up a 1,000MW capacity nuclear power plant.
The plant will see the cost of electricity going down and attracting more investors into the country. This project will also improve the economy by dealing with the issue of unemployment and underemployment as job opportunities will be created.
