The relationship between the dependent and independent variables was assessed via the use of a multiple regression analysis. The data that was analyzed was given in tabular form. The research findings indicate a robust and statistically significant correlation between approval processes and performance of capital projects in energy-based state corporations in Kenya. This is evidenced by the beta coefficient value of 0.715 and have p-values less than 0.05.
