Kenya's mini-grid solar operators are generating new revenue through the sale of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) on the Africa Renewables Katalyst (ARK) platform, linking them to international buyers.

• Kisumu County mini-grid operator reports improved financial stability and infrastructure upgrades using REC sales.
• ARK facilitates registration and verification of solar assets, creating revenue opportunities for small-scale producers.
• The platform plans to expand to Tanzania and Uganda, aligning with Kenya's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.
