Please see the KOSAP website or read our press release on the launch of the project. The Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) is a flagship project of the Ministry of Energy, financed by the World Bank, aimed at providing electricity and clean cooking solutions in the remote, low density, and traditionally underserved areas of the country.
In particular, Kenya is the largest market in Africa for off-grid solar products (USAID and Power Africa, 2019; GOGLA, 2019) and according to the Kenya National Electrification Strategy (KNES), off-grid solar solutions will play an important role in achieving universal electricity access for all Kenyans by 2022 (Lighting Africa, 2018a).
Currently, it is estimated that nearly 10 million Kenyans use off-grid solar products as compared to less than a million in 2009 at the commencement of the World Bank's Lighting Africa project (Lighting Africa, 2018b). However, after several years of expansion, market growth has stabilized and slower uptake of solar products has become a challenge.
Lack of electricity hinders basic human needs, from education to health and to generating income. Off-grid energy solutions, like solar home systems and mini-grids, are the answer for millions living in underserved areas. These innovative approaches offer businesses and households a path out of the energy gap.
