  NAIROBI, Kenya, August 27, 2025.

The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) today formalized strategic partnerships with Nestlé Kenya and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) for the upcoming second edition of the KenGen Sustainable Energy Conference. The signing ceremony, held in Nairobi, marks a significant step in uniting the private sector and global knowledge partners to accelerate Africa's clean energy transition.

The conference is scheduled for 17th to 19th September 2025 at the Olkaria Geothermal Spa in Naivasha and will operate under the theme “Renewable Energy for Sustainable Development.”

In his remarks during the signing ceremony, KenGen Managing Director and CEO, Eng. Peter Njenga, highlighted the transformative potential of the collaborations. “These two partnerships: one fuelling our bodies and conversations, the other fuelling our minds with knowledge, show how diverse contributions can unite towards one shared goal, a sustainable future,” he said.

Eng. Njenga expressed his deep gratitude to the partners, stating, “On behalf of KenGen, I extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. Khaled Ramadan and the entire Nestlé Kenya team, as well as Ms. Nagnouma Kone and the GGGI family, for choosing to walk this journey with us.”

He powerfully concluded by affirming the collective commitment: “As Nelson Mandela once reminded us, ‘It always seems impossible until it is done.’ With Nestlé and GGGI by our side, we are proving that a carbon-neutral and sustainable future is not just an aspiration it is achievable. Together, we are showing that when the private sector, public sector, and knowledge institutions unite, real progress becomes unstoppable.”

Nestlé Kenya joins as the Official Refreshment Partner, bringing its global commitment to sustainability to the conference. Mr. Khaled Ramadan, Managing Director of Nestlé Kenya, emphasized the alignment of values between the organizations.

“Our partnership with KenGen is a natural fit. At Nestlé, we are committed to supporting sustainability by promoting responsible consumption and responsible sourcing,” said Mr. Ramadan. “From reducing carbon emissions across our operations to advancing circular packaging solutions, we believe in powering progress responsibly. We are proud to help recharge delegates, energize discussions, and fuel innovation at this critical forum.”

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) will serve as the Official Knowledge Partner, contributing crucial thought leadership and technical expertise to enrich the conference dialogue.

Ms. Nagnouma Kone, Manager, Africa Strategy and Partnership and Head of Kenya Office at GGGI, commented on the partnership, stating, “Our role is to infuse these discussions with global best practices, innovative financing models, and climate-smart policies. Knowledge is power, and we are committed to bringing the world to this table to help transform this conference from a three-day event into a launchpad for commitments, investments, and long-term collaborations for Africa and beyond.”

With the blessings of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, the KenGen Sustainable Energy Conference 2025 is poised to be a pivotal gathering. It will bring together over 500 participants, including government leaders, industry experts, financiers, and investors, to deliberate on actionable solutions that will enhance investment opportunities and strengthen regional and global collaboration for a greener, more resilient Africa.
