Soheil told the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce: “We are coming to Kenya because we know it is safe and conducive for making any meaningful business venture.” He singled out energy as a key area that offer major growth opportunities, and particularly the electricity sector, where demand is close to exceeding power generation capacity.
Installed capacity stands at 1300 MW, while peak demand is currently 1180 MW. Demand for electricity is increasing at 7 percent annually, and this rate of growth is expected to increase.
