Listed carbon dioxide manufacturer, Carbacid Investments, is set to cut its use of electricity supplied by Kenya Power by 50 percent in two years as it steps up its investment in solar power.

The company, which is among those investing in solar energy in search of cheaper and more dependable supply, had already reduced its reliance on the national grid to 42 percent as of July after installing a 700 kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar plant.
