Carbon Africa in cooperation with Economic Consulting Associates and Trama TecnoAmbiental are undertaking pre-feasibility studies for private sector mini-grids at 30 sites in Kenya under a World Bank funded initiative for the Ministry of Energy & Petroleum. The 30 sites fall across eight counties including areas in the north of the country and island sites on the coast and Lake Victoria. Mini-grid expert teams visited each site to assess potential demand, map key loads, identify land for a power plant and understand the local context. The last field survey was concluded on 30 September 2016. The data collected will form the basis of the technical & economic pre-feasibility studies.

This work is one of a number of ongoing mini-grid assignments at Carbon Africa. Others include:
