Abstract

Renewable energy development has been underexploited in Kenya due to investor’s negative perception of the projects’ high investment risk. The purpose of the study was to establish the extent to which performance indicators of hydroelectric energy projects are achieved in Kenya. The study adopted pragmatism paradigm, mixed method approach and descriptive survey design. Structured questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data from a census of 94 participants. Validity test of 0.775 and a reliability coefficient of 0.781 were obtained after pretesting of the instruments amongst 10% of the participants. Descriptive statistic of means and standard deviation was applied and thematic content analysis of qualitative data done for triangulation. The composite mean and composite deviation for the performance indicators results were 4.23 and 0.281 respectively; implying that participants agreed that Performance indicators of Hydroelectric Energy projects were achieved. The findings of this study thus provide insight on how the different indicators under consideration contributed to performance of hydroelectric energy projects. The study thus concludes that the hydroelectric power projects performed since there was efficiency and increased capacity in power production, power supply was of quality, clients were satisfied, the project had positive environmental impact and revenue generation was adequate to sustain the projects while project implementation cost and time, access to power supply, power affordability were just slightly above average. Further research should be done on the factors influencing performance of hydroelectric energy projects to ensure optimal performance.
