Kenya’s ambition to achieve a fully clean power system by 2030 raises questions about how to provide system flexibility as renewable penetration increases. Applying Robust Decision-Making (RDM) enables a structured assessment of alternative flexibility options, including natural gas and battery storage, across a wide range of uncertain futures. The results show a limited role for natural gas, provided that modest cost reductions in batteries are achieved, and support the use of planning approaches that test strategies for robustness rather than relying on a limited set of scenarios.
