Abstract: The Government of Kenya recognises that Renewable Energy (RE) which include wind, biomass, small hydros, geothermal, biogas, solar and municipal waste energy, have potential to generate income and employment, over and above contributing to the electricity supply and diversification of generation sources. The National Energy Policy 2018 (The Energy Policy) and operationalized by the Energy Act No. 1 of 2019 (The Act) provides for a feed in tariff system that promotes generation of electricity from Renewable Energy sources so as to enhance the country?s electricity supply capacity. The Energy Policy under section 3.4, 3.7 and 3.8 incorporates strategies to promote the contribution of the RE in generation of electricity and section 3.11.1 of the Energy Policy provides for the feed in tariff system.
