Points clés à retenir
President William Ruto has been advocating for Kenya to become a leader in green energy in Africa. As part of this initiative, he aims to double the current per capita usage of LPG, which stands at 7kg. Kenya Pipeline Managing Director Joe Sang informed Bloomberg that the country is also working to involve a private sector company in the new cooking gas facility. Additionally, to enhance the LPG supply and reduce fuel prices, Kenya is negotiating with Saudi Aramco to acquire a floating LPG barge. Sang emphasized that these efforts are part of Kenya's broader strategy to improve its energy infrastructure and support the President's green energy objectives.
