I am of Kenyan origin and spent seven formative years of my life living in Kenya. During that time, I experienced what it means to live with an unreliable power system. Electricity was frequently rationed due to grid constraints and political instability, shaping daily life in ways that are easy to overlook from developed markets.
Limited access to power affected everything. Children struggled to study after dark. Households could not reliably cook, store food, or complete basic tasks. Energy was not an abstract concept. It was a constraint on opportunity.
Why Energy?
My Mission
The mission is to provide rigorous insight into emerging energy and climate technologies, while offering thoughtful analysis on developments shaping the sector.
The focus is on breaking complex energy systems, technologies, and market dynamics into their fundamental components, examining how they scale, integrate into existing infrastructure, and attract the capital required for deployment.
Through this lens, the goal is to better understand how policy, markets, and financing conditions influence real-world outcomes across the energy transition.
