Kenya Advances Mission 300 National Energy Compact Delivery Through Implementation Support Workshop
The Kenyan government, supported by the African Development Bank and other partners, held a workshop to implement the 'Mission 300' energy initiative. The program aims to provide electricity to 300 million Africans by 2030 through infrastructure development and private sector investment.
Why it matters
This initiative is a critical step toward addressing energy poverty in Africa, which is essential for economic development and climate goals.
Kenya is accelerating efforts to achieve universal energy access by 2030 under its Mission 300 National Energy Compact, which aims to increase electricity access from 75% to 100%, achieve universal access to clean cooking, increase renewable energy capacity from 2.627 MW to 5.952 MW, develop an additional 8,000 km of transmission lines, and mobilise greater private sector investment across the energy sector.
To this end, on 8-9 July 2026, the Government of Kenya, the African Development Bank Group (the Bank Group) convened a two-day Compact Implementation Support Workshop, facilitated by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), marking a significant step in translating Kenya's Mission 300 National Energy Compact into coordinated, measurable delivery.
