Energy Transition
We promote Africa-led solutions for the shift from fossil fuels to clean and renewable energy. Our goal is a transition that is context-appropriate, sustainable, and responsive to Kenya’s development needs.
Policy and Legal Frameworks
We advocate for transparent, just, and socially responsive energy policies and laws. By influencing decision-making, we ensure that Kenya’s energy sector is governed with accountability and fairness.
Civic Engagement
We strengthen the voice of citizens and civil society in energy governance. Through advocacy, dialogue, and capacity building, we help communities shape the future of energy.
Social Inclusion
We work to address gender inequalities and ensure that marginalized groups are not left behind. Our focus is on creating an energy future that is people-centered and equitable.
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS
Kenya’s energy future sits at a crossroads. Rising demand and global pressure to transition clash with the realities of energy poverty, opaque deals, and excluded communities. The Energy Governance Platform works to ensure that this transition is not just about shifting fuels — but about building a people-centred, transparent, and equitable energy sector.
Energy Poverty
Millions of Kenyans still lack reliable, affordable energy. Without deliberate action, the transition risks leaving the most vulnerable behind.
Transparency
Energy deals worth billions are often made behind closed doors. Citizens deserve openness, accountability, and fair benefit-sharing.
Inclusion
Communities living near energy projects are too often excluded from decisions. Their voices must shape policies that affect their land and livelihoods.
Just Transition
Kenya must balance global climate commitments with local development needs. EGP ensures the shift to renewables is African-led, people-centred, and fair.
