About

Founded in 2022, Renewstable Kwale is a private headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya specializing in Solar, Hydrogen, Energy Storage.

Renewstable Kwale is a first-of-its-kind, large-scale green hydrogen-to-power project being developed in Kwale County, Kenya, with an investment size of USD 500 million. The facility combines a solar photovoltaic plant with electrolyzer technology to produce green hydrogen, which is then stored in metallic tanks and converted back to electricity via multi-megawatt hydrogen fuel cells during peak demand and nighttime hours. This integrated approach delivers stable, dispatchable baseload power and essential grid services, reducing transmission losses and supporting Kenya's Vision 2030 renewable energy targets and Green Hydrogen Strategy. The project also includes a green hydrogen refueling station demonstrating green mobility, with fuel cell production commencing in 2025 at HDF Energy's facility in France. The initiative supports local economic development, job creation, and skills training in Kwale County and surrounding regions.
