Coal in Kenya

Since 2013, the Kenyan government has increasingly pursued a coal industry, proposing it as a viable power source, including both mining and production. The projects have been met with a lot of speculation by local communities and environmental experts.

The main proposed projects are

• coal mining in Mui Basin, Kitui County
