Market Context
Kenya has emerged as one of Africa’s renewable energy powerhouses, with over 90% of its electricity already coming from renewable sources, including geothermal, hydropower, wind, and solar. The country’s Vision 2030 development plan emphasizes sustainable energy as a cornerstone of economic growth.
With abundant sunshine year-round and decreasing costs of solar technology, Kenya has seen solar PV installations grow by approximately 240% over the last five years. Energy storage solutions are becoming increasingly critical as the country works to improve grid stability, extend energy access to rural communities, and enable businesses to overcome intermittent power supply challenges.
