Kenya and the People’s Republic of China have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to implement the Africa Solar Belt Project, an off-grid electrification initiative aimed at expanding clean energy access across remote, underserved communities.
The agreement, inked on Tuesday by Kenya’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum and China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment, establishes a framework to deploy 80 off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems across target locations, according to the State Department for Energy.
