Kenya has set its sights on becoming a net-zero carbon emitter within the next three decades. To achieve this objective, it is becoming clear that the transition to a low carbon economy is likely to require significant, additional investment in the renewable energy sector.
Even as we anticipate an increase in renewables on the grid, and a growing level of non-controllable, variable generation resources, we need a holistic long-term approach that defines what our energy needs are, how they are likely to evolve over time and what prices we are willing to pay. That approach should also take into consideration public participation and the interests of all stakeholders.
