Hydropower accounts for 36% of Kenya's renewable energy mix. [19] Much of the hydroelectric power of Kenya is derived from the Tana River. The Seven Forks Hydro Stations are five stations situated along the lower part of the Tana River: Masinga Power Station, Gitaru Power Station, Kamburu Power Station, Kindaruma Power Station, and the Kiambere Power Station.
The power station is a run of river, hydropower installation, with capacity of 90 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".
