Residents of off-grid areas in Kenya are poised to benefit from the sale of quality solar and clean cooking products following the release of Ksh 500,000,000 from the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) to 19 companies to facilitate the sale of their products in these counties.
The release of funds has provided the companies with the necessary facilitation to move into the counties to set up sales and after-sales infrastructure for standalone solar systems and modern cookstoves, under the Sh15 billion Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP). A total of 10 vendors have been selected for standalone solar systems and 9 for clean cooking component, after a competitive evaluation process.
