The Kenya Renewable Energy Association (KEREA) is an independent non-profit association dedicated to facilitating the growth and development of renewable energy business in Kenya. KEREA was formed in August 2002 by members of the Renewable Energy Resources Technical Committee of the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and is registered under section 10 of the societies act. Amongst its key roles are

promoting the interests of members of the renewable energy industry among government, public sector, the general public and any other organizations that may impact on the development of the industry; and the creation of a forum for the dissemination and exchange of information and ideas on matters relating to renewable energy development and utilization in Kenya.

At the Last Mile Distribution Forum in Nairobi, hosted as part of the Global Distributors Collective (GDC) annual gathering, that question echoed through every conversation, every insight shared, and every story told. Behind every solar product delivered to a remote household, every clean cooking solution adopted, and every productive use technology reaching a small business, there are distributors, enterprises, partnerships, and systems quietly working to bridge the gap between innovation and impact.

KEREA was honored to contribute to these conversations by sharing reflections on Kenyaโ€™s evolving energy access landscape and our work under the Power for Food Partnership-SNV_Kenya. We also highlighted how our strategic pillars, from policy advocacy and enterprise support to market development, partnerships, and access to finance, continue to shape a more inclusive and resilient clean energy ecosystem.

One thing became increasingly clear throughout the forum: the energy transition will not happen from boardrooms alone. It will happen through the everyday work of those ensuring solutions actually reach communities, enterprises, and households at the last mile.

And perhaps that is where the real story of sustainable development begins.

We appreciate the Global Distributors Collective (GDC), Practical Action, Bopinc, and all partners for convening such an important platform for learning, collaboration, and shared progress.

The engagements brought together county leadership, technical officers, and partners to discuss county priorities, progress in the development and implementation of CEPs, opportunities for collaboration, and the growing nexus between renewable energy and regenerative agriculture.

We sincerely appreciate the county officials and technical teams for the warm reception, open dialogue, and commitment to advancing climate-smart and energy-enabled agricultural systems.

Through these engagements, the Partnership continues to strengthen collaboration with counties in promoting sustainable energy solutions that support resilient livelihoods, agricultural productivity, and long-term development.

As KEREA, we remain committed to supporting partnerships, market development, and ecosystem conversations that help scale renewable energy solutions in Kenya and beyond.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK), for curating the engagement, the invitation, and their continued support in fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration between industry stakeholders.

Thank you to all participants for the insightful conversations and exchange.

The impact of this sharp rise is felt hardest by common Kenyans, especially vulnerable households, as it increases transport costs, commodity, and food prices. Businesses are also largely affected due to an increase in manufacturing expenses.

While short-term interventions may provide temporary relief, long-term stability will require sustained investment in locally available, renewable energy resources. At Kenya Renewable Energy Association, we continue to advocate for policies and partnerships that advance a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable energy future for all.

We welcome your thoughts on this, how can Kenya accelerate the transition to a more stable and sustainable energy future? Share your perspective in the comments below.

An honor to be recognized among industry leaders shaping the future of clean energy in Africa.

At Kenya Clean Energy Week| , KEREA received an Honorary Award in recognition of visionary leadership in advancing solar and sustainable energy across the continent. This recognition reflects the collective effort behind our work, from our members, partners, and the wider renewable energy ecosystem, to the dedication of the KEREA team, our leadership, and our Board. It is a testament to the power of collaboration, shared purpose, and the continued drive to build a resilient, inclusive, and high-performing energy sector.

We extend our sincere congratulations to all the award recipients, your work continues to inspire and push the boundaries of what is possible across the clean energy landscape.

A special thank you to the conveners of Kenya Clean Energy Week 2026 for bringing together such a strong platform for dialogue, recognition, and collective action. We remain committed to advancing sustainable energy solutions that deliver not just scale, but quality, efficiency, and lasting impact.

What does it really take to move from installed capacity to high-performing renewable energy assets?

At Kenya Kenya Clean Energy Week, Cynthia Angweya-Muhati MCIPS, moderated the first roundtable on Optimizing Renewable Energy Asset Performance and Lifecycle Management in Kenya, a timely conversation as the sector shifts from deployment to performance.

Convened by FirstVIEW, the roundtable brought together a strong mix of regulators, developers, financiers, and technical experts including representatives from Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority, KenGen, OFGEN Africa, Kenya Climate Innovation Center (KCIC), Open Capital, GIZ Kenya, Ecologi | B Corpโ„ข, EDF, HDF Energy Africa, and more.

The discussion unpacked what it means to operate renewable energy systems efficiently at scale, from strengthening O&M frameworks and leveraging real-time data and digital monitoring, to improving collaboration across developers, EPCs, and asset managers.

A key thread across the conversation was clear:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Scaling renewable energy is no longer just about building projects, itโ€™s about how well those systems perform over time.

From predictive maintenance and performance benchmarking to integrating storage and managing grid realities, the discussion emphasized that efficiency sits at the heart of long-term asset value, investor confidence, and system reliability.

A big thank you to all the experts, practitioners, and partners who contributed to such a rich and practical discussion, and to the organizers, FirstView, for convening this important platform.

Convened by the Kenya Renewable Energy Association - KEREA in collaboration with CLASP, the convening created a platform for critical dialogue on policy alignment, quality assurance (QA), and investment readiness for PURE systems.

A central message emerged clearly:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Scaling PURE requires trust, and trust is built through strong quality assurance systems.

Participants emphasized that unlocking the full potential of PURE will depend on:
โœ”๏ธ Strengthening and harmonizing QA frameworks across the region
โœ”๏ธ Aligning fiscal policies to support productive-use technologies
โœ”๏ธ Investing in data, local capacity, and market intelligence
โœ”๏ธ Fostering collaboration between public and private sector actors

As the region advances its energy transition, PURE presents a powerful opportunity to drive inclusive economic growth, job creation, and sustainable energy access, particularly in off-grid and underserved communities. Huge shout out to everyone who participated!

Last month, Kiambu County took a significant step in advancing county energy planning during its County Energy Plan (CEP) Dissemination Workshop.

The session created space to not only share the Countyโ€™s progress, but also to reflect on the way forward, particularly on aligning the CEP with the Integrated National Energy Plan (INEP) Regulations 2025, following recent advisory from EPRA.

With support from Power Up and ADS, the workshop also brought together county representatives from Lamu, Marsabit, and Samburu, who joined to benchmark and draw practical lessons from Kiambuโ€™s experience.
What stood out was the strong, cross-sector participation, from energy and climate change to planning, infrastructure, and social services, highlighting that: Effective energy planning requires a whole-of-government approach.

Kenya Renewable Energy Association - KEREA is proud to support platforms that strengthen county leadership while enabling peer learning across regions.

๐Ÿ‘ Kudos to County Government of Kiambu for setting the pace!
