President Uhuru Kenyatta told the world that Kenya was expanding the use of geothermal, solar and wind energy. Uhuru joined 80 heads of state and government at the UN climate change conference in Marrakech, Morocco.
"Kenya continues to take multi-sectoral voluntary domestic measures and actions to expand geothermal, solar, wind and other renewable and clean energy options. Close to two-thirds of our power at present is green. Our 310 megawatt Lake Turkana wind farm will be the biggest such project in Africa," Uhuru said.
He also pointed out that Kenya was on course to achieve and maintain the UN standard of 10 per cent tree cover and would soon introduce and manage low carbon-efficient transportation systems.
