Strenghtening the framework conditions for 100 % Renewable Energies

About this project

Context: The Kenyan Government has set itself the target of giving the entire population access to electricity and generating this electricity entirely from clean energy sources by 2030. Renewable energy sources, such as geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, wind power and photovoltaics, already account for around 90 per cent of electricity generation today. They are environmentally friendly and reduce CO2 emissions, and thus contribute to combating climate change. Further expansion of renewable energies is important for meeting growing energy needs and enabling the development of local industries. However, the legal and technical requirements for the rapid expansion of renewable energies are not yet in place. Kenya needs a plan for economic expansion that avoids overloading its electricity grids. Objective: Key conditions have improved for supplying Kenya with electricity produced entirely from clean sources. Approach: The project provides advice to stakeholders with the following objectives: (1) The technical and administrative basis for promoting grid-connected electricity generation from renewables is to be improved. The project assists with tenders for solar and wind parks and conducts preliminary studies for the projects. (2) Demand for electricity from private households and companies becomes more flexible. The aim is to shift non-peak electricity consumption by customers of the Kenyan electricity supply company to an electricity mix with a high proportion of renewa…
