Abstract: Kenya has a well-developed electricity grid compared to other East African countries and significant renewable energy generation. Electricity is mainly generated from Kenyan hydro and geothermal power where Kenya is the 8th largest geothermal electricity producer worldwide. Imports from Uganda and Ethiopia play a lesser role. The market for off-grid solar is also one of the most well-developed in Africa where a well-developed mobile phone network and the fact that almost Kenyans utilise mobile finance creates a strong basis for pay-as-you-go solar home systems.
