Episode 98: Going Green
Manage episode 232581779 series 1247257
At the Paris Peace Forum in November 2018, Uhuru Kenyatta committed to Kenya’s transition to 100% green energy by 2020, noting that green energy made up 70% of Kenya’s installed electric capacity at the time. According to the Ministry of Energy, as at December 2018, Kenya had achieved 75% household access to electricity, through both on-grid and off-grid solutions, and we plan to achieve universal access to electricity by 2022.
We’re joined by Anne Wambugu, an electrical engineer working in the renewable energy sector, to discuss Kenya's current state electricity-wise, what it means for Kenya to go green, and the possibilities that lie ahead. Press play!
NOTE:
- The targeted installed capacity by the year 2030 is 7,213.88 MW, not 26,000 MW.
- Where Anne says people who have low usage of electricity averaging about KES 300 per day, she meant to say KES 300 per month.
