The Kenya National eCooking Strategy (KNeCS) lays out a roadmap to transition 10% of Kenyan households from polluting fuels to eCooking by 2028. This inaugural eCooking strategy provides a roadmap for building the foundation for a sustainable eCooking marketplace in the next five years, which will then enable an accelerated scale up over the next two decades to facilitate the 2050 Net Zero transition. Transitioning to eCooking could bring a host of positive changes—reducing emissions, improving public health, alleviating domestic drudgery, enabling time savings especially for women and girls, and sustainability of the power sector through demand stimulation.

The KNeCS makes a strong contribution towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7. The KNeCS complements the Kenya National Cooking Transitions Strategy (KNCTS) 2024, which lays out a pathway for achieving the ambitious target of universal access to clean cooking solutions by 2028. In addition, the KNeCS also supports the Kenya National Electrification Strategy (KNES), by ensuring the financial viability of the power sector through demand stimulation.
