Background

Energy is a key enabler in driving socio-economic transformation through the development of Energy Generation, Transmission, and Distribution Infrastructure, with a focus on expanding investments in green energy. This aligns with the National Development priorities outlined in Vision 2030, the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), as well as International Commitments such as the UN Agenda 2030, Africa Agenda 2063, and the East African Agenda 2050. These efforts are aimed at providing cost-effective and essential energy services that will support socio-economic growth and development.
Energy plays a major role in facilitating the five pillars of the BETA which include agriculture; Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) economy; Housing and Settlement; Healthcare; and Digital Superhighway and Creative Economy.
