The government has announced measures to scale up cogeneration and bioethanol connectivity and access to clean energy by the year 2030.
Energy Cabinet Secretary (CS) Opiyo Wandayi said the government was rooting for diversification of Kenya's energy mix to meet the rising demand for power while addressing climate change concerns.
Cogeneration, the simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat alongside bioethanol sourced from the sugar sector has been identified as some of the most sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels and biomass.
To achieve the target, the State Department for Energy in partnership with the sugar sector has rolled up measures to scale up cogeneration and bioethanol to help bridge the energy gap.
