Abstract
Small Hydro-power Plants (SHP) are important sources of electricity in many countries. However,
little is known about SHP in Kenya. This paper reviews the status, challenges in implementation of
SHP and prospects for future development of SHP in Kenya. The paper shows that SHP has not yet
fully utilized the available hydro-power potential. The challenges associated with SHP development
should be addressed to realize its full hydro-power generation potential in the future.
