Opportunity BasketRenewable energy developers face unexpected project delays and cost overruns from mandatory battery storage requirements
Solar and wind project developers in Kenya are forced to add expensive battery storage systems to meet new grid requirements, significantly increasing project costs and timelines without clear tariff compensation. Developers lack tools to quickly model storage requirements, calculate true project economics, and negotiate fair pricing with utilities that are shifting infrastructure costs onto them.
