Introduction
With Kenya standing on the brink of an energy transformation, Linden Hof Limited is spearheading the journey towards a greener and more sustainable future. Despite considerable progress, with 89% of Kenya's electricity being generated from renewable sources as of 2021, solar power remains largely untapped. This underutilization presents a significant opportunity for innovation and growth in the renewable energy sector, particularly for solar energy, where Kenya's potential is estimated at an impressive 15,000 megawatts.
Kenya's Solar Energy Landscape
Kenya is blessed with an ideal solar potential, receiving 4-6 kWh/m2/day levels of solar insolation due to its equatorial location and averaging 5-7 hours of sunshine daily. Currently, the total installed capacity for solar power hovers just over 100 MW, with major projects like the Garissa Solar Power Project lighting the way with a 55 MW capacity. Despite these advances, the uptake, especially among manufacturing firms, remains low, highlighting a significant area for development and impact.
