The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum has launched its Strategic Plan for the period 2023-2027 which aims at transforming Kenya's energy sector through policy reforms, infrastructure development, and the adoption of clean energy technologies.
Speaking during the event held in Nairobi at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Energy and Petroleum, Mr.
Opiyo Wandayi, noted that the new Strategic Plan reflects the Ministry's forward-looking agenda to power Kenya's economic growth and meet global energy targets. "The energy and petroleum sectors are critical enablers of our development agenda and also a key driver of the nation's socio-economic transformation," said the CS.
Wandayi commended the ministry's achievements under the previous strategic cycle (2018-2022), highlighting the enactment of the Energy Act, 2019 and Petroleum Act, 2019, which he said laid a strong legal foundation for sector reforms.
