d.light, a leading provider of affordable solar products and clean cooking solutions, has been selected to participate in the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP). This government initiative aims to bridge the energy gap in Kenya by providing electricity and clean cooking solutions to underserved rural areas.

A Partnership for Impact

Through KOSAP, d.light will reach over 150,000 people in 14 counties across Kenya, including West Pokot, Turkana, Marsabit, Samburu, Isiolo, Mandera, Wajir, Garissa, Tana River, Lamu, Kilifi, Kwale, Taita Taveta, and Narok. These regions have historically faced limited access to electricity and clean cooking fuels.

Addressing Affordability

To ensure that these life-changing products are accessible to all, d.light will offer its solar solutions on an installment plan through its PayGo service.

This innovative financing model allows customers to pay for their products in small, affordable installments, making solar power and clean cooking more accessible than ever before.

Kenya as a Strategic Market

d.light has a strong presence in Kenya, with its African headquarters located in Nairobi. The company’s combination of high-quality products, established distribution channels, and the secure “PayGo” payment system makes it well-positioned to meet the growing demand for clean energy in the country.

The KOSAP Initiative

The Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) is a government initiative aimed at expanding access to clean energy in rural areas. d.light is actively participating in this project, providing its products and services to underserved communities.

The Kenyan government’s commitment to sustainable development is evident in its launch of the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) in November 2018. This ambitious program, funded by the World Bank, aims to expand access to clean energy and improve the quality of life for Kenyans across the country.

Four Pillars of Progress

KOSAP consists of four key components, each designed to address specific energy needs:

• Component 1: Mini-grids for community facilities, businesses, and households
• Component 2: Standalone Solar Home Systems and clean cooking solutions for households
• Component 3: Standalone systems and solar water pumps for community facilities
• Component 4: Capacity building for development, planning, and regulation of power and renewable energy at a county government level

With a total budget of USD$150 million, KOSAP is a significant investment in Kenya’s energy future.

d.light’s Role in KOSAP

d.light, a leading provider of solar-powered products, is a key partner in Component 2 of the KOSAP program. This component focuses on providing standalone solar home systems and clean cooking solutions to households. d.light’s expertise in solar technology and its commitment to social impact make it an ideal partner for this initiative.

A Vision for a Greener Kenya

KOSAP is closely aligned with Kenya’s Vision 2030, a long-term development blueprint that aims to transform the country into a prosperous and industrialised nation. By expanding access to clean energy, KOSAP is contributing to the achievement of this ambitious goal.

A Vision for the Future

d.light’s vision is ambitious: to transform the lives of one billion people with sustainable products by 2030. The company’s nomination for the Earthshot Prize is a clear indication that it is well on its way to achieving this goal.

d.light Solar has been instrumental in bringing affordable solar solutions to underserved communities through initiatives like the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP).

As part of KOSAP, funded by the World Bank, d.light Solar has introduced a range of products, including the d.light Solar S500, which is available at an affordable price.

The d.light Solar lantern and d.light Solar light are among the top products providing reliable energy access. Customers often inquire about the d.light Solar price and seek guidance on how to unlock d.light Solar systems for usage.

Through its participation in the KOSAP project, d.light Solar is helping transform rural Kenya by providing sustainable, clean energy solutions to areas that previously lacked access to power.

A Brighter Future for All

The KOSAP program is a testament to Kenya’s commitment to sustainable development and its determination to improve the lives of its citizens. By investing in clean energy solutions, the government is not only addressing the country’s energy needs but also creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
