Dangote Group to Generate 1,000MW Power in Kenya
The Dangote Group plans to generate 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity at its proposed refinery project in Lamu, Kenya, with half of the power, 500MW, expected to be sold to the Kenyan government. The announcement was made by the Dangote Group President during a fireside chat at the Nairobi Securities Exchange on September 29, 2026.
The power plant will produce twice the electricity of the facility at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lekki. The Lamu refinery will consume approximately 500MW, with 450MW needed for operations and 50MW reserved for power demand fluctuations.
The additional 500MW will be supplied to the Kenyan government under a currently negotiated agreement. The project is expected to attract manufacturers and businesses to Lamu, reducing their need for independent power generation.
The refinery will have a production capacity of 700,000 barrels per day, cost between $15 billion and $16 billion, and is targeted for completion by 2030, creating over 60,000 jobs.
