Furthermore, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) will serve as the Official Knowledge Partner. GGGI will share its global expertise in sustainable policies and financing solutions to enhance the quality of discussions. Their involvement is expected to turn the conference into a launchpad for investments and long-term collaborations that extend beyond the event itself.
During the announcement, KenGen emphasized its status as the largest power producer in East Africa, boasting an installed capacity of 1,786 MW, with 90% of its energy generated from renewable sources such as geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar. KenGen reiterated its commitment to supporting Kenya’s green growth journey and contributing to Africa’s sustainable energy goals.
These partnerships illustrate that sustainability involves everyone. Collaboration between the private sector, public sector, and knowledge institutions is essential for achieving Africa’s clean energy future.
