Siaya Nuclear Power Plant Site Selection

planned

The government of Kenya is conducting a site selection process for a proposed nuclear power plant in Siaya County. The process involves detailed scientific and geological assessments to identify a technically and environmentally suitable location for the Sh646 billion nuclear infrastructure project. The Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA) is leading the site selection, focusing on factors such as seismic stability, water resource proximity, population density, and grid connectivity. The project aims to provide significant baseload electricity to the national grid and support industrial expansion.
