Neosun Expands Solar Power in Kenya

Key Figures & Findings: Neosun Energy, a global leader in solar solutions, has launched operations in Kenya, bringing cost-effective and sustainable energy alternatives to businesses struggling with high electricity costs and unreliable supply. The company has a strong track record in South Africa, where it has successfully deployed solar power stations and energy storage systems. With Kenya generating over 80% of its electricity from renewables but still suffering from power shortages, Neosun aims to fill the gap by providing tailored solar PV systems for industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and retail.

Statistics & Insights: More than 500 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack stable electricity, forcing many businesses to rely on expensive diesel generators. Neosun has completed solar projects ranging from 100kW to 2MW in South Africa, proving its expertise in large-scale renewable energy solutions.

Future Implications: If Neosun’s expansion in Kenya is successful, it could significantly lower energy costs for enterprises and drive wider adoption of solar power. By 2025, this shift may accelerate Kenya’s green energy transition, boosting economic stability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
