The global status report on renewable energy was released last week. It contained interesting revelations critical for Kenya’s economic growth and livelihood enhancement.
In 2016, the new renewable energy power capacity installed in the world totaled 161 gigawatts.
Of this, solar led the way with 47 per cent of the new capacity added with wind energy following closely at 34 per cent and hydropower at 15.5 per cent. Although Kenya was third globally in new geothermal energy installations, it still lags behind in solar and wind energy. What a magnificent opportunity for investment!
