The European Investment Bank's development arm (EIB Global) will help Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Kenya's largest hospital, expand and green its energy supply through guidance on the installation of a solar-power system.
The goal of the project is to meet a growing demand for electricity at the hospital while increasing its energy independence and reducing its carbon footprint.
EIB Global will offer the assistance in partnership with the German Development Agency (GIZ) through a grant of 7.3 million Kenyan shillings (€50,000) from a multi-donor initiative run by the World Bank and EIB for cities-the Cities Climate Finance Gap Fund.
In addition, the support will cover technical studies and a financial assessment regarding the planned installation of the photovoltaic (PV) system.
