A battery energy storage. The question of power storage has become critical as Kenya embraces e-mobility which requires reliable power supplies. The Energy and Petroleum ministry targets to mainstream power storage in its electricity master plan as the country's renewable energy generation expands.
Separately on September 9, 2019, the US Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant to Kenya's Craftskills Energy Limited for a feasibility study by an American firm, Delphos International for the development of a 50MW wind power plant with integrated battery storage capacity in Kenya.
5 Kenya would need around USD 600 bn in capital investment (USD 165 bn more than under BAU), with the majority of investment going to the power and transport sectors. Delivering this investment could drive new economic activity in the energy sector and beyond, potentially supporting an additional 500 thousand net new jobs by 2050 and beyond.
“KenGen, in collaboration with the Government of Kenya and the World Bank, is committed to the successful execution of the BESS project. This endeavor represents a pivotal step towards achieving a more resilient and sustainable energy future for Kenya,” said Eng. Njenga. . . . . . . . . . Ends ….......
