K&M discussed opportunities for power development initiatives with representatives of firms and governments from Latin America and Africa, regions in which K&M has undertaken a total of 121 projects over its 31-year history. K&M was pleased to have the opportunity to make new contacts and hold meetings with firms it is currently working with, such as KenGen, a current employer of K&M’s transaction advisor and feasibility study services in Kenya.
