ESAK seeks to enable policies and regulations, grid enhancements, sustainable financing and building inclusive pathways. Also,\u00a0 build a value chain for renewable energy while maintaining investor confidence. George Aluru, ESAK Chairperson, said, \u201cIn line with the current administration\u2019s agenda on introducing reliability and affordability of power, we as ESAK commit to encouraging the sustainable development of the Kenyan electricity sector through collaboration, advocacy and data-driven solutions, as a result maintaining investor confidence through a predictable and stable business environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Statistics from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) indicates that Kenya could harness power from renewable energy sources. As a result, the government has prioritized the development of geothermal and wind energy plants for rural electrification. As part of the strategic goals to complete the transition to renewable energy, ESAK has outlined grid enhancement as part of its measure to steer the renewable energy plan. Also, as part of the implementation plan, the association proposes building national transmission lines, increasing regional interconnections and enhancing grid stability to unlock the full utilization of renewable energy resource potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aluru stressed that there is a need to adopt sustainable and innovative financing mechanisms to attract a wider pool of private funding. ESAK has further called on its members and partners to commit to fair and inclusive pathways that strive to create local employment opportunities and address poverty, inequality and gender gaps while adopting transitioning measures to renewable energy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aluru stressed that there is a need to adopt sustainable and innovative financing mechanisms to attract a wider pool of private funding.
