[edit] News and recent developments

Fall 2006: The Kenyan government is gradually warming up to the potential of solar energy in complementing conventional energy sources. In a two day fair at the KICC, the government called together solar thermal and solar photovoltaic promoters as well as government officers from the districts to discuss the possibilities. SCI (EA) gave a short presentation emphasizing that solar energy does not only heat water and give light but that it also cooks! Outside the conference center, a big solar cooking exhibition stole the show. Seeing water boil and foods cook and tasting a solar-baked cake was a dramatic confirmation! The Minister for energy himself was on hand to cut the solar Valentine cake and try his hand at cooking naturally! Three more solar energy fairs were planned for Central, Coast and Nyanza provinces later in the year.
