About 200 miles east of Nairobi, Kenya, a 54 megawatts (MW) solar energy facility located in the city of Garissa is regarded as the largest grid connected power plant in East and Central Africa [1] veloped by Kenya''s Rural Electrification Agency and officially launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta in December 2019, the Garissa solar power plant sits on 85
Kenya also has potential for solar photovoltaics (PV). Kenya''s solar PV market was established in the 1970s mostly by donor investments. It became a "donor hub" for solar PV, which allowed for a market to emerge early on. Donor investments still contribute to the development of renewable energy in Kenya.
On the other hand, the characteristics that may make solar PV a favourable option in Kenya—an abundant solar resource and large capacities of untapped reservoir hydro-power—are also present across the continent. 5 Conclusion and policy implications That fuel oil use could be substantially and economically replaced by solar PV in Kenya and
