Kenya is experiencing an energy revolution, with 9.5 million Kenyans now connected to electricity. A further 5,000 public schools, public institutions, private hospitality establishments, and hundreds of homes are also on course to acquire liquid petroleum gas reticulation kits, reducing their reliance on polluting fuel.
Even though in nascent stages, electric mobility has experienced an upsurge, with 2,694 new units registered between July and December 2023, bringing the total number of electric buses, trucks, motorcycles, salon cars, and bikes to 3,753. Kenya is also experimenting with hydrogen energy, with six firms registered in the past year to explore the green energy product for scaling across the country.
