In collaboration with national knowledge partners in India, South Africa, Vietnam and Turkey, the project elaborates country specific co-benefits of climate policies, with emphasis on the opportunities presented by renewable power generation. With its political partners in government departments and agencies COBENEFITS connects the social and economic opportunities of renewable energies to climate change mitigation strategies. The COBENEFITS project contributes to building strong alliances and lowering political barriers to revisit and effectively implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. COBENEFITS enables international mutual learning and capacity building among policy makers, knowledge partners and multipliers on seizing the social and economic co-benefits of climate change mitigation, through Country-specific assessment reports of social and economic co-benefits of renewable power generation Training materials, online courses and face-to-face trainings on seizing co-benefits of renewable power generation Policy dialogue sessions on enabling political environments and overcoming barriers to seize the co-benefits Strategies to connecting co-benefits of climate change mitigation with climate action plans, the Paris Ambition Mechanism and MRV schemes to support national NDC implementation., IASS Brochure, COBENEFITS Impulse

Reserach Brown Bag Presentations In this paper, we will compare three government-led electricity generation capacity expansion plans for Kenya, highlighting the ramifications of assumptions made in the energy planning processes to energy planning conclusions and strategy. Energy planning in Kenya has been strongly influenced by the need for economic development in the country as proposed by the Vision 2030, which aims to transform Kenya into an upper middle-income economy. This has led to proposals for nuclear and coal power in the country’s Least-Cost Power Development Plans. However, another capacity expansion plan developed by a consultant on behalf of the government decries the decision to build nuclear power and states that the decision to utilise coal should also be re-examined. We therefore compare the methodology and assumptions in these three plans with the aim of determining whether nuclear and coal power are necessary for Kenya’s electricity generation mix. Such comparison is timely and useful for regional policy-makers as it precipitates a multi-faceted picture of the key underlying challenges affecting the Kenyan electricity sector. Our comparative analysis strongly suggests updating demand forecast methods. Finally, the economic viability of coal and nuclear power do not suggest inclusion in Kenya’s expanded electricity generation mix. Strathmore University - SERC
