Abstract: Hydroelectric energy investment has been underexploited in Kenya due to financial constraint arising from investor’s negative perception of the regions high investment risk and low creditworthiness which retards the degree of private capital penetration.

The study adopted pragmatism paradigmand 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 were obtained after pretesting of the instruments amongst the 10% of the participants. Analysis involved descriptive statistic of mean and standard deviation and inferential statistic of Correlation and Regression at a significance level of 0.05 and thematic content analysis of qualitative data for triangulation. The hypothesis result: 1. H0: Communication strategy does not significantly moderate the relationship between financial risk management instruments and performance of hydroelectric energy projects in Kenya was rejected since P=0.000
