About This Project
This transformative solar power grid project aims to provide clean, reliable electricity to 50,000 households in Nairobi's underserved communities. The project will install solar panels across multiple neighborhoods, creating a decentralized energy network that reduces dependency on fossil fuels and provides energy security.
The initiative includes the installation of smart meters, energy storage systems, and community training programs to ensure sustainable operation and maintenance. This project will create local jobs, reduce energy costs for residents, and contribute to Kenya's renewable energy targets.
