Background
The motivation behind the two-day conference originates from the backdrop of the baseline study on C&I conducted by ESAK in 2022 with the aim of establishing the installed capacity in Kenya and the sector players.
One of the study outcomes showed rapid growth in the sector with specific industries adopting these technologies (solar PV, small hydro, and bioenergy). The other observation (indirect) was the contribution this sector was making to critical issues touching on power stability and reliability in doing business in Kenya.
“The study revealed the potential C&I has to respond to challenges of power demand for industrial use in the country.”
