Abstract: Power infrastructure investment in Africa can increase the estimated average current GDP of 4% to 10% but financial constraints due to investor’s negative perception of the projects high investment risk has impeded hydro-power investment. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which Hedging derivatives influence performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya. The study adopted pragmatism paradigm and descriptive survey design while questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data from a census of 94 participants. Validity coefficient of 0.775 and reliability coefficient of 0.781 was obtained after pretesting of the instruments amongst 10% of the participants. Descriptive statistic and inferential statistic of Correlation and Regression at a significance level of 0.05 was done while thematic content analysis of qualitative data for triangulation was also done. The result of the hypothesis: H0: Hedging derivatives does not significantly influence performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya was rejected since P=0.000
