KenGen plans to raise the Masinga Dam spillway by 1.5 meters to increase reservoir storage by 170hm3, aiming to improve water release consistency and reduce generation volatility during dry periods. This enhancement will support the effective capacity of existing hydro plants without adding new megawatts. Additionally, KenGen reported a 54% rise in net profit to KSh 10.5 billion for the financial year ending June 2025, while advancing a project pipeline of 252 MW, including renewable energy initiatives.
