Kenya gets an energy deal from the European Union and another deal from Australia on the same day

The agreement was signed on the same day the European Union committed to investing Sh2.7 billion in a green energy project in Kenya called the “Green Resilient Electricity System” project.

Kenya and Australia’s Fortescue Future Industries on Wednesday agreed to invest in the construction of a 300-megawatt green energy and fertilizer facility in Naivasha, Kenya.

“The project will also supply electricity to Kenya’s grid, accelerating the phasing out of fossil fuels and reinforcing Kenya’s position as a global leader in renewable energy,” the State House spokesman relayed via a statement.
