“Our ultimate goal is to achieve greater affordability through multi‐vector mini-grids, which will combine several energy vectors (e.g., electricity, thermal energy, transportation, and also water/food supply) in one energy supply system, fully exploring locally available sustainable energy resources (e.g. solar, biomass, wind, hydro, etc.) and specifics of energy demands of rural Kenyan communities.” - Dr. Sasa Djokic, Reader, The University of Edinburgh
The project aims to give Kenyan rural communities access to sustainable and affordable energy supplies from mini-grids that can use multiple local renewable energy resources and are capable of scaling up with growing demand. The project will co-design these local energy models with selected rural communities.
UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) is a unique capacity-building programme. Jointly governed and funded by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) through the UK's International Climate Finance, it works in partnership with countries with high emissions reduction potential to support them to implement and increase their ambitions for tackling climate change.
