SDE says that it will build the 100MW plant in conjunction with local firm Sea Wave Gen along the shores of the Kenyan coast. The project will boost Kenya's electricity supplies in an environmentally-friendly way, says the company.
Power produced from the Kenyan facility will be sold to local utility KPLC.
Kenya wants to reduce its dependence on hydropower and oil-fired generation by boosting other renewable energy capacity. The government is also investigating the feasibility of building a nuclear power plant.
Last year, SDE installed its ninth wave energy power plant at Jaffa Port, Israel. In December it signed an agreement to build a 1MW facility in Cancun, Mexico.
