| Summary: | Kenya has made great strides in
increasing access to electricity to its population. The
Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) survey has found about two-thirds
of the population of Kenya having access to electricity
(either from a grid or an off-grid connection) as of early
2016. Given the high pace of grid and off-grid
electrification in the recent years, the MTF provided an
updated estimate using extrapolation techniques, which found
three-fourths of the population having access to electricity
through grid and off-grid options by early 2018. Kenya is
well on its way to achieve universal access to electricity
much earlier than the Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL)
goal of universal access by 2030. The Kenya National
Electrification Strategy (KNES) launched in December 2018
provides a roadmap to achieving the universal electricity
access goal by 2022. This initiative includes concerted
efforts to increase access to electricity in the fourteen
under-served counties through grid, mini-grid, and off-grid
options. The present report provides data on energy access
from a household perspective that confirm the strategic
directions taken by the government in KNES. In addition, it
provides additional disaggregated data that can inform
implementation of KNES. |
