Public acceptance of renewables in Kenya

A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute detailing a quantitative public acceptance study on the deployment of wind, solar photovoltaic, and geothermal energy in Kenya.

• A quantitative public acceptance study indicates that there is significant public support in Kenya for the large-scale implementation of geothermal, solar photovoltaic, and wind energy, which could assist the government in meeting its Paris Agreement commitments.
• Public opinion regarding renewable energy alternatives is influenced by land-use requirements, infrastructure, and price, though these factors affect opinion in different ways.
• While overall assessments are positive, there are potential drawbacks and inconveniences for each of the three renewable options that could obstruct large-scale adoption, although these may be mitigated through national energy and climate development planning.
