Abstract: This article presents evidence that there is substantial public support for the large-scale deployment of three renewable energy options in Kenya – wind, solar photovoltaic and geothermal – from a quantitative public acceptance study. With these renewable technologies, the government of Kenya could make a large contribution to reaching its national commitment under the Paris Agreement. The study finds that price and infrastructure and land-use requirements all contribute to shaping public opinion about these renewable energy alternatives, but in different ways.
