The program which was started in 2006 has so far carried out over 300 energy audits. It has also seen to the training of 68 Certified Energy Managers in an aim of boosting the capacity of local personnel in energy management.
“We are answering to the global call to mitigate the impact of climate change through prudent energy management, energy efficiency and other green and clean initiatives”, said Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) chairman, Mr. Polycarp Igathe during the Energy Management Awards,2013.
Mr. Polycarp pointed the connection between energy efficiency and reliable power supply saying that they complement each other. Under that note, he mentioned an earlier collapse of the main grid stating that such power interruptions and others that industries face have a negative impact on their efficiency levels.
“We would like to see commitment on the part of government and indeed all sector players responsible for making power supply reliable, by ensuring there’s a timeframe within which Kenya will celebrate the era of uninterruptible power supply”, said the KAM chairman.
