d.light to Sell Solar Power, Clean Cooking Solutions in Kenya Under KOSAP

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

The Kenyan government has selected d.light for the latest round of the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) to expand the uptake of off-grid solar home systems and clean cookstoves in underserved rural counties in the country.

The scheme was set up by the Kenyan government in 2018 and funded by the World Bank with about $150 million to close the energy access gap in the East African nation by providing electricity and clean cooking solutions to remote and traditionally underserved areas of the country not covered by the national energy grid.
