Kenya and the United States are set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on nuclear cooperation at the upcoming International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference in September.

The MoU will promote the exchange of expertise in nuclear policy, research, and regulation in energy, health, and agriculture, it emerged after a meeting in Nairobi between nuclear regulators from both countries.

Kenya has targeted launching construction on its first nuclear power plant in 2027, which would have the capacity to generate 1,000 MW. Following years of pre-feasibility studies, last year identified two prospective sites for an NPP, which it hopes will help meet rising demand for electricity as the country angles to be a middle-income economy by 2030.

Kenya-US collaboration in nuclear energy has been expanding, as evidenced by President William Ruto’s recent State visit to the US. During his visit, he and President Joe Biden discussed partnerships focused on clean energy and resilience, including efforts to enhance US-Africa cooperation in the nuclear industry, Energy Central News reported on August 28.

Kenya anticipates the 1,000-MW plant will cost KES500bn ($3.87bn) to build and aims for its completion by 2034. The project is currently in the preparatory phase, the Standard newspaper reported on August 28.

We can’t even get our macroeconomics right. Angling for middle income economy status is a worthy goal but every fool knows you only make big global money by being a producer. Salary and loans won’t make you rich. Going for nuclear power with our current economy is like paying off a Landcruiser loan on a watchman’s salary.
