The government is banking on public institutions to increase the amount of cooking gas consumed in the country to 10kg per capita in line with the National Liquified Petroleum Gas Enhancement Project.
The current consumption of cooking gas, or LPG, is 6.59kg per capita annually as detailed in the recently launched Ministry of Energy and Petroleum 2023-2027 strategic plan.
In the plan, the ministry seeks to move this figure to 10kg with a key factor being having 50 per cent of public learning institutions use LPG by 2027, from a baseline of eight per cent in 2023.
For households, the target is 100 per cent by 2027 from 40 per cent in 2023 in adoption of clean cooking solutions.
