Kenya needs $15b for ‘power access’

Bloomberg

East Africa’s largest economy needs between $15 billion and $18 billion to achieve all-round electricity access by 2022, according to Power For All, a global coalition of 200 private and public organisations campaigning for universal reach.
“With almost $15 billion in investment into a suite of projects — geothermal, off-grid, energy efficiency, transmission — Kenya could achieve universal access by 2022 with the current growth of demand at 5.3% per year to 2020 for East Africa,” Chief Research Officer Rebekah Shirley and Data Manager Monkgogi Otlhogile said.
