Abstract: The Energy (Net-Metering) Regulations, 2024 establish Kenya?s legal framework for consumer-based renewable electricity generation and export via grid infrastructure. Targeting systems under 1MW, it defines interconnection standards, tariff credits for surplus energy, technical eligibility, carbon credit ownership, and environmental safeguards. The regulations enable five-year contracts with distribution licensees, embed dispute mechanisms, and standardize procedures for metering and approvals. By operationalizing consumer generation within Kenya?s grid ecosystem, it promotes prosumer participation, supports decentralized renewable energy policy, and activates carbon accounting pathways aligned with net-zero objectives. It bridges residential and institutional solar deployment with utility grid reliability and emissions tracking. Kenya?s evolving power landscape makes this legislation a critical tool for harmonizing generation incentives, climate finance mobilization, and equitable energy access.
