ENERGY SAFETY NETS KENYA CASE STUDY

This case study examines Energy Safety Nets (ESNs) in Kenya, analyzing government-led initiatives designed to make modern energy services affordable for poor and vulnerable populations. It reviews electricity access programs, clean cooking initiatives, and the broader national social protection framework to identify opportunities for integrating energy access into existing social safety nets.

• The Slum Electrification Project (SEP), part of the Kenya Electricity Expansion Project (KEEP), connected over 1 million households in low-income urban areas. It overcame barriers such as formal land registration and high connection fees by introducing a subsidized fee of approximately USD 15 (KES 1,160) and technical innovations like single-phase transformers and 'ready meter boards'.
