- Preamble To provide reliable, competitive, affordable and sustainable energy to support national development and just energy transition. Kenya’s journey towards achieving sustainable and inclusive development requires reliable, competitive, affordable and sustainable energy to support its national development. The energy sector in Kenya has been developed on the backbone of strong legal, policy and regulatory frameworks designed to address the country’s energy and economic needs. They have fostered regulatory reforms and incentivized investment in the energy sector and laid the foundation for energy governance in the country both at the national and county level. These frameworks undergo continual, review, improvement and updates to ensure the country’s adaptability and resilience to evolving local, regional and global trends and phenomena, which have yielded several benefits and milestones, but have equally exposed diverse challenges. Kenya has made significant strides in expanding electricity access, with national access levels rising from approximately 30% in 2014 to over 75% (65% on grid, 0.84% mini grid and 9.2% Standalone PV) as at 2024. This progress has largely been complemented by a strong focus on renewable energy development, which now accounts for 82% of the country’s total installed electricity generation capacity and 93% of actual energy consumption. Notably, Kenya leads the African continent in installed geothermal capacity and ranks sixth globally. The country also boasts an extensive transmission network, spanning 9,484 kilometers, including three regional interconnectors that support cross-border electricity trade. Despite these achievements, major challenges still exist, necessitating the need for urgent, strategic and coordinated interventions. Approximately 25% of Kenyans still do not have access to electricity, with the rural areas disproportionately low on access. Over 69% of households rely on traditional biomass for cooking, contributing to deforestation, health risks, and environmental degradation. The high cost of energy, compounded by reliance on imported fossil fuels impedes energy security, economic stability and industrial growth. As a result, key strategies and focus areas have been developed to aptly address these challenges and risks while sustaining the country’s momentum towards achieving its National Development Goals. These strategies align with Mission 300’s transformative impacts which come at an opportune time when the African continent is at the cusp of economic revolution. Kenya’s commitment to transforming the standard of living especially in off-grid and all vulnerable communities is espoused through the target of achieving universal access to electricity and clean cooking by 2030 and mainstreaming gender equity and youth inclusion in the energy sector. This will ensure inclusive energy development while improving the livelihoods of all Kenyans. The sector’s commitment to providing reliable, competitive and sustainable energy to create jobs, foster higher incomes, and stronger economic growth will be achieved by expanding and modernizing energy infrastructure and promoting productive use of energy and energy access for social and public facilities. This will be supported through establishing regulatory frameworks and roadmaps to ensure grid stability and reliability thus transitioning the electricity sector to a competitive local and regional power market. To spur investment and economic growth, the sector will develop sustainable and innovative financing frameworks and risk mitigation strategies that will encourage strategic investments and partnerships thus stimulating competitive private sector investment and participation. The country’s focus on accelerated development on renewable energy to reduce dependence on polluting fuels while advancing climate and health goals aligns with its global climate commitments. It aims to achieve 100% clean energy in the national power system by using LNG as a transition fuel while doubling the energy efficiency improvements by 2030. Kenya therefore affirms its commitment to the Mission 300 vision to provide game-changing opportunities that lift millions out of energy poverty, unlocking opportunities and driving socio-economic growth. ii

Country and Sector Overview 5.1. Overview of the GDP and Demography In 2024, Kenya’s real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 4.7 per cent, a slower growth compared to the revised growth of 5.7 per cent in 2023. The growth was noted in most of the sectors of the economy with Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing growing by 4.6 per cent compared to 6.6 per cent growth in 2023. Nominal GDP increased from USD 116.3 billion in 2023 to USD 125.5 billion in 2024 out of which Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing contributed 22.5 per cent, an increase from 21.5 per cent in 2023. Historically, population size and urbanization rate have shown a positive correlation with electricity usage in domestic, small commercial and street lighting customer categories. Kenya’ s population in 2024 was estimated to be 52.4 Million with an average household size of 3.9. 5.2. Sector Institutional Structure Kenya’s energy sector is governed by the Energy Act Cap 314. It succeeded the Energy Act 2006 which was grounded on Sessional Paper 4 of 2004 that unbundled the power sector. The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum (MoEP) handles policy, planning and oversight while the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) undertakes technical and economic regulation of both energy and petroleum subsectors. The Energy and Petroleum Tribunal adjudicates and arbitrates disputes referred to in the energy and petroleum sector. Electricity generation is undertaken by KenGen and various Independent Power Producers (IPPs) under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) as the sole off-taker. KPLC also distributes power and manages pre-2006 transmission assets up to 220 kV. The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) was created to fast-track geothermal development by de-risking and partnering with power producers via Project Implementation and Steam Supply Agreements (PISSAs). Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) is responsible for developing, maintaining and operating all new 132kV and above transmission infrastructure. The Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA) manages nuclear energy development and capacity building, while the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) promotes rural electrification and renewable energy. In addition to the main utilities, the sector has mini-grids, developed by both public and private sectors, that supply power to off- grid communities through localized networks and captive power generation, favoured mainly by commercial and industrial users. Energy planning in Kenya is central to the sector’s energy development. It focuses on least cost power development of electricity generation and transmission. Due to the focus on electricity planning, other energy sub-sectors such as petroleum, renewable energy, clean cooking, bioenergy and energy efficiency are not adequately incorporated into the energy sector planning. The Energy Act introduced the Integrated National Energy Plan (INEP) which will incorporate all these sub-sectors that have been excluded. The INEP requires collaboration between the National and County Governments among other stakeholders in energy planning as the Constitution provides for County Governments to undertake energy planning. 5.3. Trends in Power Supply and Demand Trends in Power Demand The country’s peak demand has been growing over time and currently stands at 2,316 MW as of February 2025. In the FY 2023/24, electricity sales grew to 10,516 GWh from 10,233 GWh in 2022/23, a 2.8% growth. The energy purchased grew to 13,684 GWh in 2023/24 from 13,290 GWh in 2022/23 representing a 3% growth. The number of customers connected to the national grid which currently stands at 10 Million grew from 9,212,754 in 2022/23 to 9,660,005 in 2023/24, representing a 4.9% growth.

KenGen, which is the largest electricity generator in the country, accounts for 1,779MW of total installed capacity with a further 50MW of capacity installed by REREC at Garissa solar. The Independent Power Producers (IPPs) account for 1,163MW of capacity with a further 200MW being imported from Ethiopia. The capacity mix was composed of 26% hydro, 18% Thermal, 29% geothermal, 14% wind, 7% solar, and 6% Imports. Captive Power capacity has been growing and stands at 575 MW in December 2024. Isolated grid generation under the Rural Electrification Programme (REP), implemented by REREC and Private Mini-grid owners, accounted for 52MW while Captive power capacity, which mainly comprises biomass, solar and hydro, stood at 574.6 MW, accounting for 15.04% of the country’s total installed capacity. Geothermal has been the leading contributor to the generation mix, maintaining a range between 39.15% and 46.69% over the years. Hydropower generation has been notably affected by the vagaries of weather, declining from 32.22% in 2019/20 to a low of 19.33% in 2022/23 before recovering to 24.81% in 2023/24. Thermal generation peaked at 13.02% in 2021/22 before subsequently declining, while wind power experienced steady growth—peaking at 16.57% in 2022/23 and then dropping to 13.01% in 2023/24. Solar energy has gradually increased, reaching 3.46% in 2023/24, and electricity imports have surged significantly from 1.40% in 2019/20 to 8.76% in 2023/24. 18

Figure 3: Generation Contribution over the years. Source: Kenya Power Annual Reports 5.4. Transmission and Distribution Kenya’s electricity transmission network covers 9,484 circuit km at 132 kV and above voltage levels as at December 2024. This comprises 1,282 km of 500kV, 2,623 km of 400kV lines, 2,152 9 km of 220 kV lines and 3,427 km of 132 kV lines. The transmission network consists of 111 transmission substations with a transformation capacity of 12,410 MVA. The distribution network covers 311,625 circuit km from 0.24kV to 66kV voltage levels as at June 2024 with a transformation capacity of 15,149MVA. 5.5. Regional Integration Kenya is an active member of the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP). The EAPP is advancing regional power integration through major transmission and generation investments. Kenya is currently connected to Uganda via a 132kV AC line, Ethiopia asynchronously via an HVDC link and Tanzania through the 400kV interconnector. Development of the 400kV Lessos-Tororo line will be completed by 2030. It is expected that the broader Kenya–Tanzania–Zambia interconnection will allow bidirectional energy trading with the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP). These interconnections will be increasingly valuable with the rising share of intermittent renewable energy, enhancing security and stability of power supply, increase access to cheaper power in the region, optimize utilization of energy resources and enhance income generation through power trade. Cross-border power exchanges are already occurring, especially in border towns such as those between Kenya and Ethiopia. To support power market development, the EAPP has developed market design, rules, agreements and a trading platform, targeting to launch a regional day-ahead electricity (DAM) market in September 2025. 5.6. Electricity Access Electricity access in Kenya has significantly improved over the past two decades. Government-led initiatives and private-sector participation, through innovative business models and adoption of renewable energy technologies have driven these improvements. In 2018, the Government formulated the Kenya National Electrification Strategy (KNES) which provided a roadmap to universal access to electricity. The electricity access rate has increased from 29% in 2013 to the current 75% with 90% and 68% access in urban and rural areas respectively from grid and off-grid solutions. The length of the distribution network has increased over time to meet the growing demand for electricity in Kenya. As of 2024, the number of domestic customers connected to the national grid stood at 8.5 million with the number of households served by a mini-grid at 110,000 and the number of households with a standalone PV system at 1.2 million. Therefore, the 19
Page 26
estimated number of households with direct access to electricity services was 9.75 million out of a total of 13.4 million households. According to KNBS projections, the estimated number of households will be 15 million in 2030. Therefore, at least 5.1 million households will need to be connected to achieve universal access by 2030. 5.7. Clean Cooking Access According to KNBS 2023-2024 Housing Survey Report, the access to clean cooking in the country stood at 34.4% with e-cooking at 1.5%, biogas at 0.4%, LPG at 30.7%, and bio-ethanol at 1.8%. The estimated population with access to clean cooking in urban and rural areas stood at 71.5% and 11.1% respectively. Kenya has over 80,000 social institutions (health 9,783, educational 71,719 and correctional 45). The use of LPG and electricity for cooking health institutions is high at 61.2% and 20.9% respectively. Thus, health sector may be quite ready for a full transition to Electricity and/or LPG. Educational and correctional institutions predominantly with charcoal as secondary fuel. Clean cooking interventions under the compact will focus on 4373 public educational institutions. In addition, the Household Air Pollution Strategy, 2024 indicates that over 26,000 deaths occur annually, attributed to illnesses related to household air pollution. There are emerging clean cooking solutions that include solar cooking, green hydrogen, geothermal direct use, and bio-methane. The vast solar radiation coupled with innovative new technologies such as phase change materials for thermal storage and Direct Current e-Cooking appliances can be used for solar thermal and solar electric cooking in the country. Bio-methane technology is considered as an alternative to conventional LPG, since it reduces carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. 5.8. Productive Uses of Energy As of June 2025, the national peak demand for electricity stood at 2,316 MW which was a 27% increase from 2018 indicating a steady rise. During the same period, KPLC’s customer base grew from 6.7 million to 9.8 Million which translates to a 44% customer growth. This mismatch indicates an opportunity for stimulating demand for grid connected customers as well as mini- grid users and customers living without access to electricity. Using energy productively will not only lead to increased revenues but also contribute to economic development across the country. The government seeks to promote productive use of energy. The E-mobility Policy highlights e-mobility as an opportunity for increased demand for electricity with an additional 415MW required to adequately support e-mobility uptake over the next 5 years, part of which could be used to offset electricity venting at night with potential to balance load curve. The charging infrastructure for EVs in Kenya is still in its early stages, with approximately 137 EV charging infrastructure (both battery swapping stations and EVCS), predominantly situated in urban centres. The Government of Kenya is looking to deploy 10,000 EV charging stations in the country by 2030. Cooking is a productive use of energy in restaurants, hotels, street vendors, households among others. Whereas the use of clean cooking devices for productive use is on the increase, the use of e-cooking remains low despite widespread grid access. The government intends to enhance clean cooking as a productive use of energy. In 2023, the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum adopted the National Roadmap for Scaling Productive Use of Energy (PUE) which recognizes the value of renewable energy powered appliances and equipment such as solar, wind, biogas, and biofuel powered irrigation systems in increasing agricultural productivity, reduced post-harvest losses through refrigeration, cold chain, and drying, and enhanced value addition from milling and agro-processing. This roadmap set the scene for the formation of the Inter- Governmental Committee on PUE which was established in 2024 to facilitate the identification of barriers and opportunities for scaling PUE in Kenya. 5.9. Financing Presently, the energy sector is financed through the Government’s budgetary allocations, development partners and private sector initiatives. Electricity access in Kenya has significantly improved over the past two decades this has been due to various Government-led initiatives and private-sector participation, through innovative business models and adoption of renewable energy technologies. There are small private generators and retailers who supply customers within their business areas and also licensed mini-grid operators serving customers off the grid. Kenya aims to attract both local and international investments by fostering public-private partnerships, leveraging on green financing mechanisms, blended finance models, concessional funding mechanisms and encouraging innovation. Promotion of private sector investment in new business models including energy efficient household appliances, electric mobility, water pumping, cold rooms, and cottage industries. There is also a need for investment by the Government and private sector in research and development, pilot projects, and capacity-building programs which will accelerate the adoption of innovative energy solutions. 5.10. Private Sector Participation The Kenyan Government is committed to fostering a credible, fair and transparent energy sector by ensuring that all obligations under the existing and future PPAs are met. To enhance the country’s energy security and develop a framework for transparent 20
Page 27
engagement with Independent Power Producers, the Government placed a moratorium on the onboarding of new PPAs. This would ensure the long-term viability and sustainability of the sector by streamlining supply/demand balance. The government is in the process of lifting the PPA moratorium having developed the requisite frameworks to support sustainable engagement of the private sector. These include the energy auction policy, gazettement of indicative tariffs and reviewed FIT Policy. 5.11. Opportunities and Challenges Pillar I: Capacity Expansion and Competitive Costs Kenya’s energy sector offers significant opportunities to drive socio-economic growth through strategic exploitation of its vast renewable energy potential. The country’s untapped geothermal resources can provide reliable baseload power, support green industrialization, and reduce carbon emissions. Large hydropower sites can be transformed into multi-purpose reservoirs for power generation, irrigation, and grid-stabilizing pumped storage, while small hydro plants can enhance local energy access and voltage support. Solar and wind energy can be sustainably integrated to conserve hydropower and accelerate electricity access through off-grid and hybrid systems. Transitioning thermal plants from heavy fuel oil to natural gas offers a cleaner alternative. Kenya’s technical expertise in geothermal development, transmission, and distribution infrastructure, along with advanced electricity planning tools, positions it to provide consultancy services regionally and globally. Rising demand from government connectivity programs, electric mobility, e-cooking, and data centres creates a market for modernizing transmission and distribution infrastructure using smart grids and grid-enhancing technologies to improve reliability and reduce losses. Legal, fiscal, and regulatory frameworks, combined with diverse financing models like public-private partnerships (PPPs), green financing, and climate funds, further support cost-competitive energy development. However, challenges persist. Less than 10% of Kenya’s renewable energy potential is utilized, with large projects like geothermal and hydropower requiring significant capital and long development timelines. Hydropower is vulnerable to climate variability, and variable renewable energy sources like solar and wind cause grid instability, necessitating thermal plants for stability, which conflicts with emission reduction goals. The absence of a regulatory framework for ancillary services hinders renewable integration. Inadequate stakeholder collaboration and a lack of centralized data repositories weaken integrated energy planning. Transmission and distribution infrastructure face issues like insufficient capacity, high technical and commercial losses, vandalism, and delays due to land acquisition challenges. Multiple levies increase end-user tariffs, while limited access to favourable financing slows renewable energy and infrastructure development. Pillar II: Leveraging Regional Integration Kenya’s participation in the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) and its shift to a competitive wholesale electricity market present opportunities to enhance regional energy integration. The transition offers access to technology and financial services markets, regional expertise for peer learning, private sector investment, climate change mitigation, tariff reduction, system stability & robustness and expanded power supply to cross-border towns. However, limited technical capacity for market operations and constrained transmission infrastructure restrict the full realization of these benefits, particularly in implementing the regional power market. Pillar III: Clean and Affordable Last-Mile Access Kenya is well-positioned to scale clean and affordable electricity access, driven by abundant renewable resources evident in the country’s energy mix, government commitment to universal access, and a vibrant private sector in distributed renewable energy (DRE). The vast grid network coverage so far achieved, presents an opportunity for optimizing on the number of unconnected households within the network coverage. Consequently, the country’s journey towards universal access coverage will be anchored on grid densification, intensification and extension to connect nearly 96% of the un-accessed population. Further to this, there is an opportunity to reach population clusters located beyond the grid coverage through mini grids and standalone solar systems. Programs like the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) and Last Mile Connectivity Program have expanded access through grid densification, mini-grids, and solar home systems, supported by mobile-enabled Pay-as-You-Go (PAYGO) models. Kenya leads in off-grid solar markets, with a robust ecosystem of technology providers and financiers. In clean cooking, opportunities exist to tap global funding and scale e-cooking through innovative financing like carbon finance and green bonds as well as leveraging the Last Mile program. Local manufacturing of clean cooking solutions is growing, creating jobs and export potential. Productive use of energy in agriculture, green industrialization, and e-mobility offers significant potential for job creation and economic resilience, supported by government initiatives like special economic zones and a growing e-mobility sector. Challenges to last-mile access include high electricity supply costs, particularly in rural areas, and unaffordable connection fees for low-income households. Limited government funding slows grid expansion, while high financing costs for off-grid solar and productive use equipment exacerbate affordability issues. Clean cooking uptake faces barriers like policy gaps, affordability, cultural practices, and weak supply chains. Productive use of energy is hindered by affordability, low consumer awareness, and underdeveloped business models, with the lack of a national framework limiting its economic impact. Addressing these challenges 21
Page 28
requires coordinated efforts across government, private sector, and financial institutions to enhance affordability, financing, and awareness. Pillar IV – Incentivize private sector participation to unlock additional resources The landscape of renewable energy development presents a mix of promising opportunities and formidable challenges. On the opportunity side, there is growing support from donors and multilateral organizations eager to provide blended finance and guarantees, creating a more favourable environment for investment. Additionally, the implementation of energy auctions and open access policies is capitalizing on the declining costs of renewable energy technologies, making them increasingly competitive. Furthermore, the development of de-risking instruments is paving the way for greater private sector participation, offering mechanisms to mitigate financial uncertainties and encourage investment in sustainable energy projects. However, significant challenges persist. The financial viability of off-taker remains a concern, undermining private sector confidence in the reliability of long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). Grid infrastructure constraints pose another hurdle, particularly in remote areas, where the ability to integrate new generation capacity from renewable sources is limited. The process of acquiring land permits and securing social licenses from local communities adds layers of bureaucratic complexity and uncertainty, often stalling project development. Additionally, the lack of tools and methodologies to effectively participate in carbon markets hinders the ability to capitalize on this growing opportunity, leaving potential revenue streams untapped. Together, these challenges underscore the need for strategic interventions to unlock the full potential of renewable energy development with private sector participation. Pillar V – Work toward financially viable utilities that provide reliable service The energy sector is poised for growth, bolstered by several promising opportunities. Many utilities have already developed comprehensive business plans and standardized technical specifications, showcasing a reservoir of expertise within the industry. A robust Energy Act clearly delineates the roles and responsibilities of various energy sector institutions, including the energy regulator, providing a strong legal framework. The availability of skilled personnel enables the sector to handle diverse operations and pursue consultancy opportunities as a means of business diversification. Additionally, a robust fiber optic network integrated into existing and planned transmission lines opens avenues for increased fiber leasing business. The sector has a strong institutional reputation and productive relationships with development partners, further enhanced by regulations, policies, and strategies designed to attract investors. Efforts toward institutional strengthening and improved governance further solidify the foundation for progress. Despite these opportunities, the sector faces significant challenges. A lack of structured business planning, institutional accountability, and good governance undermines operational efficiency. High turnover of skilled staff, driven by inadequate retention policies, weak institutional capacity and lack of centralised and structured data collection and management systems. Lengthy procurement processes for critical spare parts disrupt operations, while delays in consumer tariff reviews create financial strain. The absence of standardized technical specifications for developing transmission and distribution infrastructure hampers progress. Aging and inadequate infrastructure contributes to increased system losses, and a non-uniform demand profile complicates efforts to balance supply and demand. These challenges highlight the need for strategic reforms to ensure the sector can fully capitalize on its potential. 22
