IED supports rural electrification projects in Kenya
An IED team went to three fisher villages in Kenya on the shores of Lake Victoria at the end of January 2020, to collect and gather information in order to electrify these three sites.
The project to electrify these sites, carried out by a local developer, aims to equip each village with a 100% photovoltaic power plant and a mini-grid.
This mission is a part of the Green Mini Grid Kenya program, a program to support the development of mini-grids powered by renewable energy in Kenya, funded by UK cooperation.
Since 2016, IED has been carrying out regular technical assistance missions under this program, and regularly commission field experts to oversee and implement tech
nical works and studies.
