President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi when he gave his remarks during the virtual Leaders’ Summit on Climate hosted by US President Joe Biden.
The first day of the US President Joe Biden Climate Summit saw various countries make commitments to combat climate change.
Kenya declared its commitment to mitigate climate change as it urged investors to venture in geothermal energy.
President Uhuru Kenyatta said the East African nation plans to make its electricity grid 100 per cent renewable energy, up from the current 90 per cent.
“Our geothermal potential is great and the amount currently tapped is less than 10 per cent. This presents huge investments opportunities across the technology value chain as well as huge opportunities for employment,” President Kenyatta said during a virtual climate change address.
