Karura Power Station, is about {{convert|15|km|0}} downstream of Kindaruma Power Station.[1] This location is approximately {{convert|190|km|0}}, by road, north-east of Nairobi, the capital and largest city of Kenya.[2] OverviewThe power station is a run of river, hydropower installation, with capacity of 67 Megawatts. The design calls for the waters of River Tana to be diverted through a "dug-out channel" and then delivered to the power-generation site, thereby reducing the "displacement of communities". Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), a company, owned 70 percent by the government of Kenya, is the developer and owner of this power station.[1][5] The development, decided upon circa 2012,[1][3] is being developed to stabilize the national electricity grid with increased hydro-power, in view of the increased intermittent sources in the country's energy mix, including solar and wind.[1] Feasibility and ESIA studies were conducted in the 2009 to 2012 time-frame.[4][5] Karura and Mutonga were two locations that were identified as potential sites for hydro-power station development.[6] Construction timeline{{asof|February 2018}}, the development was entering the tendering process, after which the construction cost and timeline would be determined.[1]See also{{stack|{{Portal|Kenya|Water|Renewable energy}}}}
