President William Ruto’s government has received a boost in its funding after securing a whooping 9 billion from a western allie.
This is after Denmark pledged the amount of money to Kenya to boost its efforts in championing for green energy in Africa.
The money will go to solar, wind and green infrastructure projects, directly contributing to the country’s goal of becoming a leader in sustainable energy.
Denmark also pledged to share expertise in energy efficiency and stable grid development, key areas for building reliable energy infrastructure.
“Africa’s renewable potential is undeniable, yet investment has lagged. This partnership with Kenya aims to change that,” said Frederiksen at the ongoing COP29 in Azerbaijan.
The United States also chipped in, with its contribution to Kenya’s initiative of producing electric cars.
“This partnership will strengthen Kenya’s EV sector, creating thousands of jobs and accelerating green mobility in East Africa,” said Senior Climate Advisor John Podesta.
