Kenya’s energy sector remains untapped, with the country relying primarily on woodfuel, oil and electricity as its primary energy sources. Oil accounts for about 87% of commercial energy, highlighting the need for increased investment in hydropower, geothermal, solar, wind and renewable energy.
The manufacturing sector offers a variety of investment opportunities, including agro-processing, garment manufacturing, automotive assembly, electronics, plastics, paper, tyres, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, glass, ceramics and wood, metal and engineering products.
These opportunities involve investment in both the domestic and export markets, through schemes such as Manufacturing Bonds and Export Processing Zones.
