Abstract: Kenya is poised to redefine its development trajectory by leveraging transformative power sector reforms as the cornerstone of its new generation Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) ( 2031-2035). Central to the vision of reforms in the power sub-sector is the reduction of electricity costs, a pivotal step toward universal access, enhanced affordability. The reforms will not only improve operational and technical efficiency of power systems, but also unlock opportunities for private sector investment, drive industrial competitiveness, and expand electrification to underserved urban and rural areas in a low carbon and climate resilient manner. To avoid fragmentation and silo approach, Kenya’ NDC (2031-2035) adopts a coherent strategy of whole- of- government, whole-of-society approach to climate action, by prioritizing and adopting implementation sequence which takes into account the order, ripple effects and investability of the prioritized actions across and within sectors. The strategic approach primarily adopts a focus on sectoral intra and inter-connectedness while taking into account national and sectoral development plans.
