Malaba One-Stop Border Post Solar Energy Project

completed

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), in collaboration with TradeMark Africa and supported by the Swedish government, launched a solar energy project at the Malaba one-stop border post. The project features a hybrid solar system with battery storage designed to reduce electricity costs by up to 90% and improve power reliability at one of East Africa's busiest trade crossings. It powers all operations at the facility, generating over 233,000 kilowatt-hours annually and meeting 78% of the border's energy needs, reducing reliance on the national grid and diesel generators.
