East African nations are leveraging geothermal, solar, and hydropower to shield their economies from volatile global oil prices. By shifting away from imported fossil fuels, countries like Kenya and Ethiopia aim to improve national security and lower the cost of transport and food. While the region possesses vast renewable resources, scaling these solutions requires overcoming infrastructure gaps and high upfront financing costs. The transition focuses on electric mobility and solar irrigation to create a more stable, self-reliant energy grid.
