In this episode of Jijuze, Brian explores Kenya's ambitious strive towards a sustainable energy future through renewable and nuclear resources. With 90% of Kenyan power already coming from renewables and an ongoing geothermal revolution, Kenya has established itself as a green energy leader. Simultaneously, there are plans to construct a 1,000-megawatt nuclear plant by 2027 to meet the exponentially growing electricity demand, highlighting the nation’s nuanced clean-energy outlook. The podcast raises questions about balancing renewable and nuclear strategies, challenges in weather-dependent hydropower, the creation of consistent baseload power, and the nation's global image as a green leader. The host outlines how Kenya's energy future may redefine 'clean' energy, broadening its scope to a 'low-carbon' narrative.
