About Energy Siren
Independent reporting on power, fuel and energy access in Kenya and across Africa.
Energy Siren covers the energy sector in Kenya and the wider African continent: electricity generation and transmission, renewables, oil and gas, energy access, and the policy and finance that shape all of them.
What we cover#
We report on decisions that change what people pay for energy and whether they can get it at all. That means tariffs and regulation, grid investment and outages, project finance and deal flow, off-grid and clean cooking, and the climate context around energy choices.
We are interested in explaining mechanisms, not only announcing events. A tariff adjustment matters less than why the structure produces that adjustment.
Who we write for#
Our readers work in and around the sector: utility and regulator staff, project developers, financiers, engineers, analysts, journalists and policy researchers. We also write for the informed general reader who wants to understand why a bill moved or why a project stalled.
Independence#
Energy Siren is editorially independent. Commercial arrangements, where they exist, are disclosed and have no influence on coverage. We do not offer favourable coverage in exchange for advertising or sponsorship, and we do not allow sources to review copy before publication.
Corrections#
We correct errors promptly and visibly. See how we report for our standards and correction policy, or write to the desk directly.
