To this end, a national taskforce on Accelerated Development of Green Energy has been formed to steer the accelerated development of green energy. The taskforce consists of a steering committee and a group of experts. The taskforce will identify and recommend a package of technical and financial measures that will promote the accelerated development of green energy power generation projects through public and private partnerships. Two, it will investigate and recommend a package of measures that will significantly expedite the construction and commissioning of up to more than 2,000 megawatts power plants by June, 2012. Three, it will identify and recommend a package of measures that will, within existing multi-lateral arrangements and green energy, generate carbon credit for Kenya with the most advantageous terms. This taskforce is authorized to liaise with development partners and other specialized institutions and private investors in the discharge of its mandate. The taskforce shall complete its work and submit an implementation matrix to the Cabinet not later than the end of August, 2009. Thereafter, the taskforce shall coordinate the national implementation of the measures recommended and approved by the Cabinet during the period of August 2009 and June, 2012. I wish to lay on the Table a copy of Gazette Notice No.6065 dated 9th June 2009 on the taskforce. With this, we will be able to complement our current generation capacity. We have sufficient geothermal reservoir within the Rift Valley. We also have sufficient wind power in a number of areas in our country such as Marsabit, Maralal and Lamu. We also have enough sunshine and solar energy is available and abundant in this country and we want to harness it."
