Kenya’s bid to achieve universal access to clean cooking energy by 2030 is set to get a boost from $400 million in investments and tax relief.
The government of East Africa’s largest economy plans to invest more than $200 million to build facilities to handle and store liquefied petroleum gas, according to Energy Secretary Davis Chirchir. That’s in addition to a $200 million LPG facility that Tanzanian businessman Rostam Aziz’s company, Taifa Gas, begun constructing in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa last week.
