Today marks a historic step forward for Kenya with its admission to join the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA), following a major announcement made during the Ocean Conference 2026 in Mombasa.

Through GOWA, Kenya will benefit from global expertise, policy knowledge, investment networks, and technical cooperation to support the assessment and future development of offshore wind resources along our coastline.

This is a huge win for Kenya and a significant milestone for Africa’s ocean-climate agenda, opening new opportunities to unlock the potential of offshore wind as a clean energy solution.

Offshore wind represents a powerful pathway for Africa to advance climate action, strengthen energy security, drive sustainable development, and support a just transition while harnessing the immense potential of our oceans.
