SkyPower to provide two million solar systems to Kenyans

In East Africa, SkyPower, a global developer of utility-scale solar energy projects, stated that it will be partnering with Plan International for the distribution of two million SkyPower Home solar systems to provide energy to poor households, schools and health clinics in Kenya.

In a statement released last week by SkyPower, the company said that this initiative is in accordance with the Kenyan government which was first announced in July this year during the 6th annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit held in Nairobi.

This initiative forms part of the landmark agreement between the Kenyan Ministry of Energy and Petroleum and SkyPower to develop, build, own and operate 2GW of world class, utility-scale solar projects across Kenya, which will be built over the next five years,” the release said.
