4. Erosion of consumer confidence because of inappropriate system standards, faulty installations,importation of sub-standard systems and poor after sales service.5. Rampant theft of solar photovoltaic panels, which discourages their installation.6. Lack of awareness on the potential, opportunities and economic benefits offered by solartechnologies.3.7.3 Policies and Strategies and Implementation Plan – Solar EnergyPolicies and StrategiesSolar Energy1. Promote the wide spread use of solar energy while enforcing the existingregulations and standards.2. Ensure that all commercial buildings adopt solar and hybrid solar energysources for water heating and lighting.3. Provide incentives to promote the local production and use of efficientsolar systems.4. Provide a framework for connection of electricity generated from solarenergy to national and isolated grids, through direct sale or net metering.5. Promote the use of hybrid power generation systems involving solar andother energy sources to manage the effects caused by the intermittentnature and availability of solar energy.Short Term2014-20176. Formulate and enforce minimum standards for solar energy technologies. 7. Provide fiscal incentives on solar panels and equipment. 8. Provide for offences and enhance penalties for theft and vandalism ofsolar systems.9. Create awareness on the potential opportunities and economic benefitsoffered by solar energy technologies.10. Partner with financiers to enable the public access credits schemes. 11. Install solar PV systems in 50% of all the remaining public facilities in theoff grid areas.12. Promote installation of at least 100,000 units of solar PV home solarsystems by 2017.13. Roll out a programme to distribute solar lanterns as substitute forkerosene in lighting rural areas, poor peri-urban and urban settlements.14. Develop a programme to convert diesel stations to hybrid powergeneration systems harnessing solar energy.15. Develop a programme for raising awareness on requirements forconformity with mandatory regulations for solar water heating systemsand ensure installation of at least 350,000 SWH units by 2017.Implementation PlanMedium Term2014-2022Long Term2014-203060 NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY FINAL DRAFT NOVEMBER 2013

Undertake RD&D on solar technologies. 18. Facilitate generation of electricity from solar by among others, funding,setting aside land, fast-tracking issuance of permits and licences, as wellas acquisition of data and information so as to realise at least 100MWfrom solar by 2017, 200MW by 2022 and 500MW by 2030. 19. Promote installation of at least 200,000 units of solar PV home systemsby 2022.20. Develop a programme for raising awareness on requirements forconformity with mandatory regulations for solar water heating systemsand ensure installation at least 450,000 SWH units by 2022 and at least700,000 units by 2030.3.8 WIND ENERGY3.8.1 Background1. Wind energy uses naturally occurring energy of the wind for practical purposes like generatingelectricity, charging batteries, or pumping water. Large, modern wind turbines operate togetherin wind farms to produce electricity for utilities.2. Kenya has a proven wind energy potential of as high as 346 W/m2 and speeds of over 6m/s inparts of Marsabit, Kajiado, Laikipia, Meru, Nyandarua, Kilifi, Lamu, Isiolo Turkana, Samburu,Uasin Gishu Narok, Kiambu Counties among others. The Ministry of Energy developed a WindAtlas in 2008 with indicative data.3. To augment the information contained in the Wind Atlas, MoE, with the assistance ofDevelopment Partners on the one hand and KenGen have between them installed more than 60Wind Masts and Data Loggers in various counties across the country to collect site specific datawith a view to open up generation electricity from wind. Confirmed wind energy potential forselected areas are given in the Table 3.1.Table. 3.1: Average wind speed data for selected sitesSiteAverage Wind Speeds in m/sMay 2012 June 2012 June 2013 LTA1.
