Abstract
Kenya’s energy framework is one of the most developed in subSaharan Africa. Numerous reforms instituted by the Kenyan Government over the past two decades have considerably increased competition and efficiency in the energy sector. As an example, between 2011 and 2016, the country’s installed power capacity rose by around 50%, from 1,539 megawatts to 2,341 megawatts. During the same period, access to electricity more than doubled, from about 2,038,625 connections (covering 26% of Kenya’s total households) in 2011, to 4,890,373 connections (extending to over 50% of households) by 2016. Rural electrification rose to 32%, mainly through electricity connections in public facilities and surrounding households.
