The World Bank has partnered with Kenya in a KSh15 billion solar project that seeks to benefit close to 250,000 households in 14 counties with low electrification rates.
According to President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Kenya National Electrification Strategy, launched in 2018, has the intention of making 1.9 million solar-based connections.
Additionally, the solar project will allow solar products imports to enjoy tax exemptions and incentives in order to make them affordable.
The President said the government’s policy to promote green energy production had seen more than two million solar products imported into the country in 2019 alone, and 6.2 million products since 2009.
