Kenya generates 70 per cent of its energy with renewable sources

Kenya generates more than 70 per cent of its energy from renewable sources like geothermal, hydro, wind and solar energy. As solar energy also becomes more attractive for industrial and home use, the east African nation has responded by removing duties on the import of products like solar panels and inverters. With Africa's first climate summit beginning in Nairobi this week (5 September}, Kenyan President William Ruto has said that the continent can power all of its energy needs with renewable resources.
