The Integrated National Energy Plan (INEP) is developed under section 5(5) (a) of the Energy Act No. 1 of 2019 in respect of coal, renewable energy and electricity through consolidation of National Energy Services Provider plans and County Energy Plans. The INEP serves as an energy sector inter-governmental document to guide on the short, medium and long-term energy requirements based on evolving economic, socio-political and technical issues to ensure delivery of reliable energy. Broadly, the INEP cover the following:
i. All spheres of energy access: households, productive uses and community facilities, differentiated by gender.
ii. All forms of energy access: electricity, cooking, heating and mechanical power.
iii. All feasible and appropriate means of energy provision: grid connected, mini-grid, and stand-alone.
