Kenya Power hosted an e-mobility conference in Nairobi to develop a roadmap for electric motorization. More than 300 participants drawn from the energy, finance, the transport sector, as well as county governments, development partners, and the private sector, attended the e-mobility Conference.
The conference was organized by Kenya Power, in partnership with the German Agency for International Cooperation , to develop a consultative framework that will support a coordinated approach toward the implementation of electric motorization in the country. The forum was also bringing key stakeholders together to advocate for the amalgamation of policies under development by different stakeholders to ensure that they capture all opportunities presented through the entire e-mobility value chain.
The conference comes at a time when electric motorization is gaining traction globally as electric vehicles have been identified as a sustainable source of transport and one of the many initiatives that global and policy leaders are adopting to redress the damage caused by human activity on the environment. There are now over 25 million passenger electric vehicles on the road globally, with China having the largest number of electric vehicles.
Renewables provided 89% of Kenya’s electricity generation in 2021, thanks to contributions from geothermal, wind, hydro, and some utility scale solar. Kenya is one of the major players in the geothermal space and is in the top 10 in the world when it comes to installed geothermal generation capacity. Electric vehicles in Kenya will be charged using some very clean electricity.
