It has been observed that Kenya is moving towards procuring more of its additional power from wind and solar. With the substantial growth in hydro, wind and solar energy in the recent years, this has led to a decline in generation from oil, gas and coal sources and electricity imports. As far as the use of clean energy is concerned, two-thirds of Kenya’s energy currently comes from bioenergy. Encouraging energy efficiency Promoting energy efficiency practices is not only as a way to ensure that there is enough energy for all but also as a climate mitigation measure. As a result, Kenya’s Climate Change Action Plan 2018–2022 has prioritized enhancement of energy efficiency as one of the priority actions to mitigate climate change in the country.
