This section provides an overview of the regulations, laws, policies, and development funding related to Just Energy Transitions in Kenya from 2010 to the present. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the country's efforts towards transitioning to a sustainable energy system, including mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Regulations

1 / Energy (Solar Photovoltaic Systems) Regulations, 2012 These regulations set standards for the installation and licensing of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Kenya, aiming to promote solar energy adoption and regulate installers.

2 / Electricity Licensing Regulations These regulations specify the procedures for applying for electricity generation and distribution licenses in Kenya. They aim to streamline licensing to support renewable energy projects.

Policies

1 / Energy Act, 2019 The Energy Act consolidates the laws relating to energy, including electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. It established the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to oversee electricity licensing and tariffs

2 / Least Cost Power Development Plan (LCPDP) 2017-2037 This policy document outlines Kenya's 20-year roadmap for electricity generation expansion, prioritizing renewable energy to ensure affordable and reliable electricity supply.

3 / National Climate Change Action Plan (2018-2022) This policy outlines Kenya's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building resilience against climate impacts. It includes sectoral priorities such as agriculture, energy, water, and forestry

4 / Kenya Green Economy Strategy and Implementation Plan (2016-2030) A strategic policy aimed at promoting a low-carbon, resource-efficient economy. It supports the implementation of green energy, sustainable agriculture, and climate-resilient infrastructure.
