Kenya: Electricity Expansion Project Additional Funding

The project had two development objectives: (a) increase the capacity, efficiency, and quality of electricity supply; and (b) expand access to electricity in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas. This additional financing enhanced and maximized the development impact of the Kenya Electricity Expansion Project (KEEP).  The project supported cost overruns related to the expansion of low cost base load geothermal resources in Kenya’s energy mix; scale-up of slum electrification across the country; and scale-up of technical assistance and capacity building for sector entities.
