Kenya has been able to mobilise private investment into its power sector thanks to a raft of progressive reforms. In 2018, the government launched the Kenya National Electrification strategy, which promotes private involvement in off-grid solutions including mini-grids and stand-alone solar systems.
There is a significant proportion of the world''s population living in remote rural areas that are geographically isolated and sparsely populated. This study is based on modeling, computer simulation, and optimization of a hybrid powered mini-grid for a remote area of Korr in the district of Marsabit, Northern Kenya. The solar photovoltaic and wind …

Climate actions (SDG-13) aim at limiting global warming by targeting carbon emissions reduction. With the energy industry recognized as a significant CO 2 emitter, SDG-13 policies mostly translate energy transition to renewables (SDG-7) and the electrification of end-users, both energy-demanding sectors and society (cities, …
The second biggest contributor is the electrification of space heating. Currently, natural gas boilers have a large share in residential heating, but new energy efficiency standards of buildings will increase the share of heat pumps. Additional reductions will occur with the increased use of renewable energy that often comes with electrification.
