A New Era Begins.
Speaking at the #ICoNE2026,
H.E President William Samoei Ruto, CGH set a bold new paradigm for the Global South, announcing a strategic scale up to 10,000MW in energy capacity with nuclear power at the heart of Kenya's industrial transformation.
#Nuclear4Kenya
Kenyaโs nuclear energy journey is guided by a clear institutional framework: KNRA provides regulatory oversight, KenGen will serve as the owner-operator of the first nuclear power plant, and NuPEA coordinates programme development and implementation.

in in nuclear science, technology, and energy policy. Capacity building continues to be central, with ongoing efforts to expand opportunities beyond postgraduate studies to include internships, fellowships, and scientific visits.
Through postgraduate programs at KINGS, Seoul National University (SNU), Korea Advanced Institute of Nuclear Technology (KAIST), Tsinghua University in China and the Institute of Nuclear Science at the University of Nairobi, over 130 Kenyans have gained advanced skills
As Kenya advances its nuclear power programme into the second phase, it's commitment to clean & sustainable energy, supported by international partnerships with South Korea & China, has strengthened expertise in energy policy, nuclear science, technology & regulatory capacity.

@citizentvkenya For young people, this means real business opportunities: higher yields, less waste, and access to premium markets. With Global NorthโSouth collaboration, we can scale these solutions, train youth, and create sustainable jobs in agribusiness.
@citizentvkenya Many donโt realize that nuclear techniques already help farmers in Kenya โ controlling pests, saving water, preserving food, and keeping animals healthy.
@citizentvkenya Good evening everyone, thanks @citizien and US-Embassy Kenya @USEmbassyKenya for organizing this, Iโm speaking as President of the African Young Generation in Nuclear (AYGN), a youth network championing peaceful uses of nuclear science for sustainable development.
