Kenya’s Current Installed Capacity is 2100 MW against a peak Demand of 1600MW. The Demand is expected to grow at Rate of 11% as the Vision on 2013 is being implemented. The Current Government Administration has drafted an Energy Master aimed at adding another 5000MW to the national Grid by 2018 mainly from Renewable Energy.
This on the Heels of COP21 Paris Landmark deal that is expected to spur a wave of Eco –Investments in the Country to Fund Renewable Energy project and making Green Energy Technologies more accessible. Kenya ahead of the Cop21 Convention last in December, submitted its “Intended Determined Contribution” Pledging to cut its Carbon Emission by 30% by 2030.

Incentives for Solar Energy Development
- Kenya Favorable & Ambitious Climate is totally suited for renewable energy particularly Solar which upholds Economic Viability
- Renewable Energy has received a major Boost from the Government through regulatory and Fiscal policy that deliberately favors the adoption of Renewable energy. No Value Added Tax for Imports of Solar equipments and there is no restrictions or penalties in Corporate adoption of Captive Solar power plants which means Totally Independent Power plants singularly devoted to a specific premises or property.
- The Government has created an Omnibus Tax scheme, called the investment Deduction Allowance “IDA” , designed specifically to encourage manufacturing through major tax breaks for Kenyan Corporate. The “IDA” can also be applied to Solar Captive solar power plants.
- Renewable Energy has received a major boost from the “European Union Climate Change Policy” through which channeling of huge bilateral credit lines into Kenyan Banks Specifically for Renewable Energy Projects. Europe’s Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are diverting huge sums away from Europe where Renewable has Limited Financial Rewards in comparison to Countries such as Kenya where both Consumption is growing exponentially and Renewable Energy make perfect sense. Experts Estimate that where Solar Replace 20-30 percent of GRID Energy purchase, Corporate in manufacturing sector can improve operating margins by 1-300 basis points leading to more competitive position for our Industry.
