Energy Transition

Driving Africa-Led, People-Centred Energy Transitions

The Problem

Africa’s energy future hangs in the balance.
While global efforts to decarbonize accelerate, millions across the continent still lack access to reliable energy.

For Kenya, the challenge is managing this shift responsibly — aligning with climate goals while ensuring energy security, economic opportunity, and social justice. Without African-led solutions, the transition risks becoming inequitable and externally dictated.

What We’re Doing About It
