Sustainable power supplier with green energy

The solar energy will be one of the most important energy in the coming future. The solar products will play a key role in our daily. Most of the lights we use today will replaced by solar powered lights.

Kenya’s energy sector is set get a boost following the entry of an independent power producer that will produce up to 200MW (mega watts) over the next two years.

Blue Sea Energy Ltd will generate power from wind and solar in a push to move away from heavy reliance on hydro and fossil fuels as energy sources.

Hydropower has in the past proved unreliable despite being a key electricity generation source due to erratic weather. Volatility in crude oil prices has been blamed for an unpredictable power pricing structure that in most cases always tends to upwards.

Blue Sea Energy Chief Executive John Majiwa said the firm has invested Sh1 billion in purchasing wind turbines that are scheduled to arrive in the country next month.

He added that the firm would spend another Sh5 billion in setting up and commissioning wind farms across the country.

The Wind farms will be set up in Rift Valley, Coast, Nyanza and North Eastern areas. "Our production will be from clean sources and in addition to the Sh6 billion we are investing in wind energy. A further Sh2 billion will be invested in solar energy," he said.

What’s more the Kenya is also planning to replace all the conventional street lights with solar street lights. This will be a good start.
