The station situated in Gatuanyaga division in Kiambu County 20 kilometers from Thika town was decommissioned in December 2010 following a number of operational challenges. The move will make the historic idle plant the first electric power production Museum in East Africa. 

Speaking during the signing of a Memorandum of Understand (MoU) on development of electric power sites between KenGen, KenGen Foundation and the National Museums of Kenya, KenGen MD and CEO Eng Albert Mugo said the decision to convert Ndula into a museum was made after the company ascertained the hydro-power plant had become economically unviable to redevelop for purposes of power generation.

KenGen Foundation will spearhead the conversion process as well as take change of the running of the museum and other support facilities once the process is complete.
