The Ministry of Energy has challenged KenGen to increase its renewable energy as one way of reducing the high cost of electricity in the country.

The ministry noted that the country had ample sources of green energy like geothermal, wind, hydro, and solar, which if fully utilised, could see the country phase out thermal power.
