Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) will in Sepember 2025 host the second edition of its Sustainable Energy Conference in Naivasha, bringing together more than 500 delegates in a push to accelerate Africa’s transition to clean energy.
Speaking on Wednesday during the signing of cooperation agreements with Nestlé Kenya and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), KenGen Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Peter Njenga, said the gathering would provide a platform for governments, industry leaders, financiers, and development partners to deliberate on renewable energy solutions.
“With the blessings of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, KenGen will be holding the second edition from 17 to 19 September 2025 at the Olkaria Geothermal Spa in Naivasha. The objective is to accelerate Africa’s transition to clean energy, enhance investment opportunities, and strengthen regional and global collaboration,” said Eng Njenga.
Nestlé has joined the event as the Official Refreshment Partner, while GGGI will serve as the Official Knowledge Partner.
Eng Njenga welcomed the two(23 organisations, noting their involvement reflects the diverse contributions required to achieve sustainability.
“For our Official Refreshment Partner Nestlé, thank you for coming to recharge delegates, energise discussions, and fuel innovation,” he said.
He also acknowledged the role of GGGI, adding, “Our partnership with the Global Green Growth Institute is a powerful statement. You will infuse our discussions with global best practices, financing solutions, and climate-smart policies, transforming the conference from a three-day event into a launchpad for commitments, investments, and long-term collaborations.”
The KenGen boss said the partnerships underline Kenya’s commitment to leading the continent’s green growth journey and positioning Africa at the centre of global climate action.
