Abstract: Renewable energy development has been underexploited in Kenya due to investor’s negative perception of the projects’ high investment risk which has depressed private capital penetration. The purpose of the study was to establish the extent to which Alternative Risk Transfer influence performance of hydroelectric energy projects 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 and inferential statistic of Correlation and Regression was done at a significance level of 0.05 and thematic content analysis of qualitative data for triangulation. The hypothesis test results for H0: Alternative Risk Transfer does not significantly influence performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya was rejected since P=0.000
