Kenya’s President William Samoei Ruto has launched the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) at Ndau Island in Lamu County.
The initiative aims to provide electricity access to people in remote areas, create employment, and drive economic growth.
President Ruto stated, “We are extending electricity access to the most remote corners of our country to light up homes, power industries, create jobs, and drive inclusive economic growth.”
The project covers 14 counties, including Garissa, Isiolo, Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu, Mandera, Marsabit, Narok, Samburu, Taita Taveta, Tana River, Turkana, Wajir, and West Pokot.
The Sh10 billion initiative is part of a broader effort to expand electricity access through mini-grids and stand-alone solar systems.
