Data-driven energy decisiveness and optimisation for Kenya and East Africa
Generator diesel swings. Outages are growing. The answer starts with data.
Every power outage hour costs someone: output in a factory, diesel for the generators in a hotel, lifts and water pumps in an apartment block, confidence in a lender's credit file. Without one dated record per site, solar, storage and new connections are decided on estimates, or not at all.
Within 4 weeks, a board can decide from an approved, source-linked record: what power costs today, what is worth building and its 20-year value, or why not. Greenyield is an AI-native energy value architect, specialised in storage and dispatch, with energy, data, finance and legal expertise behind every result.

Four questions every record answers:
- What does one hour without power cost, per unit produced?
- Which supply pays best: Kenya Power, own power or open access?
- What is the site worth over 20 years, and to whom?
- Can the board sign it off without a second opinion?

What outages cost a business
Every power outage hour ends up in the cost of each product. That cost can be measured, and taken out.
Every hour without power either stops production or burns imported diesel in a backup generator. At the national outage rate above, this is what every GWh used a year carries. Spread over what a site makes, it is a hidden energy cost on every product sold.
What each GWh carries
During an outage, when nothing carries the load. Restarts and spoilage come on top; the scan shows which loads to protect first.
Fuel for a generator to carry the same hours instead. Spread over the site's annual output, it is a cost on every unit.
From generator diesel. With a grid-charged battery carrying the load, about 90% less; charged from solar on site, zero in operation.
Scale 1 GWh a year is a site of about 115 kW average load. A factory using 10 GWh a year carries USD 305k of output at risk and USD 79k to 92k of generator diesel, every year, before restarts and spoilage.
- Claritywhat power really costs a site, per product, on one dated record.
- Continuitywhich loads to keep running through an outage, and with what.
- Lower costless generator diesel and energy spend through storage, solar and dispatch, with savings verified against a baseline.
A site over 20 years: continue as today, or own power
Payback is the second question. The first is continuity: which processes and equipment must never lose power, and what carries them through every outage. The band shows the cost side for a site using 1 GWh a year at the national outage rate, without amounts: own solar and storage at two published cost levels; where it crosses the line is the payback, and the gap after it is the 20-year value.
Illustrative, on published cost levels and national averages, in today's prices. Which solution fits, how large, and where in this band a site lands, or whether it lands in it at all, is what the Energy Value Scan settles: measure first, then decide.
Turn this cost into a business model
The record settles what keeps critical processes and equipment running, what is worth building, how it pays and which way to pay fits: buy it, finance it, or pay per kWh. Greenyield then vets the technology partners able to deliver it and specifies what they build, on the site's measured data. Selection, specification and delivery are one process; the owner keeps the final choice.

From generator diesel to own power
Generator diesel is a cost no site can control. Own power turns it into a business model.
Every generator hour is paid at a price set abroad. Solar and storage on site turn that running cost into an asset with no fuel to buy. The record shows which model pays for the site.
How own power pays, in one day and three models

- Solar on site
- Site demand
- Stored: grid power off-peak, solar surplus at midday
- Delivered from storage
- Grid outage
Grid, generator, often solar. Storage is the missing piece, and where 20-year value is made.
We move the value of daytime solar into the evening and night, so a site stops buying expensive power and stops losing output in an outage. The same battery can earn very different returns, depending on how it is sized and run. Designing that over 20 years is our specialism. We do not sell batteries; we turn them into bankable projects that keep power secure for 20 years.

Solar produces by day. When does the line run?
The scan sets the mix: storage alone, storage with solar, or light solar, sized on the site's own load. The bottom line is one number: the cost per product, before and after.
The site owns the system; every saving stays with the owner.

Beyond the siteEnergy sovereignty, and firm power for Kenya's AI build-out.
Energy sovereignty, site by site
Each site that replaces generator diesel with its own solar and storage cuts the country's fuel import bill and its exposure to the dollar. It also keeps its output running through an outage.
Calculated from the figures abovePower for Kenya's AI build-out
Kenya's National AI Strategy 2025 to 2030 names AI digital infrastructure as its first pillar. Data centres and AI workloads need firm power around the clock; we work out whether that power case can be made bankable.

Open access is law
Large users may buy power directly from a producer and pay to have it carried over the grid, on terms approved by EPRA. This applies from 1 MVA on the local network and 10 MVA on the high-voltage grid. Which route pays for a site is a question of data.
Legal Notice 79 of 2026, gazetted 8 May 2026Energy management is regulated
Facilities using more than 180,000 kWh of energy a year need an energy audit at least once every four years, by a licensed auditor. They must realise at least half of the recommended savings within three years of submitting their investment plan. Our records feed that plan; they do not replace the licensed audit.
Energy (Energy Management) Regulations 2025, Legal Notice 18 of 2025, regs. 5, 8 and 10(2)(a)Off-peak rates follow each site's own record
Commercial and industrial customers get 50% off the energy charge in off-peak hours, but only on units above a monthly threshold. For an existing site, that threshold is set from its own average over the previous six months. EPRA's amendment of 18 September 2026 extended the same rule to e-mobility customers. Each site's off-peak saving depends on its own consumption record.

Kenya endorsed its National Energy Compact under Mission 300 on 24 September 2025, with a target of universal access to electricity and clean cooking by 2030. The draft plans a centralised energy data repository for FY2026/27; our site records are structured so they can feed it.

Impact projects with leading partners
From microgrids to sovereign energy and AI compute infrastructure. Where a network of sites or an area needs new capacity, Greenyield can initiate the project with leading partners to build, finance and run it. Where we advise a single site, we stay independent of the build: independent in the advice, accountable for the record and, with monitoring, for what the dispatch delivers.
Not an energy audit. The scan is not a statutory energy audit, and not financing, investment or legal advice. The scan is desk-based; site visits come with the later results and are priced in. Prices exclude taxes.
How we work
Expert-coded AI. Expert-approved results.
Every result is a decision a board and a lender can act on: each figure sourced and dated, each open point named, approved before it leaves us. It comes from a proprietary, codified doctrine and methodology, built on years of grid-connection, storage and trading practice and applied by AI to every site. That is what AI-native means here: production and checks are automated, so every site gets the same rigour within weeks. Judgement, approval and accountability stay with people: an expert signs off every release. No record goes out without that approval. The method stays in-house; what a client receives is the result, not the method.

Track record and team
A track record that can be tested. Every forecast is dated and stored before the outcome is known, in a ledger running since 28 August 2026. Each one is shown against the outcome once it is published, misses included. Getting started asks little of the site team; we gather the rest.

Local and international specialists in energy, finance and law
Dutch practice in smart storage, dispatch and monitoring, joined with local knowledge of Kenya's grid, tariffs and rules.
The Netherlands is one of the most data-rich power markets in the world. We bring that practice to Africa, site by site and country by country.
Led by Derck Mekkering, founder. His experience spans energy trading, the commercial build-up of an industrial battery company with its own energy management system, and grid connection development. That practice is what our doctrine codifies.
Around him work specialists in utility-scale renewable energy development, project finance and law. Each record is written the way a lender, an investor and their counsel will read it.
What the record holds
The value sits in 20 years of operation.
Grid costs, outage losses and generator diesel are where a record starts, not where it ends. Each scan carries a 20-year value preview of costs, yields and impact. Its detail grows with the evidence: a preview in the scan, a lender-grade model once the site's own data is in. The Pre-BFS turns it into a 20-year earnings model a lender can test, and measured data replaces assumptions as the years run. Where a contract runs shorter than the asset, the model still covers the full life, so a lender sees what it finances.

The energy data layerNational statistics explain the system. Site measurements explain the decision.
Forecasting, storage sizing, dispatch and credit review all depend on dated, granular data. In the Netherlands, the grid operator publishes a snapshot of the system balance every 12 seconds, and dispatch algorithms are built on that stream. Kenya's public statistics are monthly, so the finer data has to come from the site itself. An hour that passes unmeasured cannot be measured afterwards: the earlier a site starts its record, the more that record is worth.

Log scale. Public data only; utilities may hold finer operational data. TenneT balance delta, every 12 seconds since 25 Nov 2025; KNBS release calendar FY2025/26, monthly totals about two months after the month.
more often in the Netherlands: a 30-day month holds 216,000 twelve-second intervals.
30 x 24 x 3,600 / 12Formats lenders already know
We use the vocabulary of Orange Button for solar asset data, the Investor Confidence Project for project baselines and IPMVP for savings verification. No conformity or certification is claimed.
Every change is logged
With its date and its reason. A lender sees what changed and why.
Compare without exposure
Anonymised, aggregated figures let a site compare itself with its peers. Nothing is shown for a group too small to stay anonymous.
What this means for a client
Clients pay for a finished result, never for data collection or access to a database. The record is theirs to use; the layer behind it means every next site starts from more evidence and fewer assumptions.
Citable impactIn Kenya, the climate value is in generator diesel.
Kenya's grid emitted 0.053 tCO2 per MWh in FY2025/26; a diesel generator emits 0.67 to 0.78. Cover the same outage hours with a battery charged from the grid and the CO2 falls by about 90%. Charge it from solar on the site and operating emissions fall to zero. We report it per site, with the factor and its source on every line; with monitoring, per hour.

| 13.2Climate action | tCO2 avoided, with the factor and source stated |
We only claim targets we can measure on the site, and we set a baseline before anything changes.
Hourly matching, prepared for when buyers ask
With monitoring, we collect hourly meter data on generation, storage and use, so a company can show how clean its power was for Scope 2 reporting. The GHG Protocol has proposed hourly matching, with exemptions, in its revision of Scope 2; the outcome is still open. Its public consultation ran from October 2025 to January 2026. A consolidated consultation is planned for Q2 2027, and the revised standard for Q4 2028.
Certificates, kept independent
We do not issue certificates. In Kenya, I-REC(E) certificates are issued by EPRA as the accredited issuer, and certificates never pass through the party that dispatches.
ESG that lenders can use
Records follow the questions lenders ask under the IFC Performance Standards and the Equator Principles, and report in the metrics DFIs track:
- Litres of generator diesel and tCO2 avoided
- MWh saved and outage hours avoided
- MW and MWh of solar and storage enabled
- Capital mobilised

Questions
What boards, lenders and governments ask first
Is the Energy Value Scan an energy audit?
No. It is a commercial decision record. Statutory energy audits in Kenya are carried out by licensed energy auditors, audit firms or energy service companies. The record gives the auditor and the investment plan a dated, sourced starting point.
What exactly do I pay for?
An approved, dated record with every figure sourced, a decision path and a list of what is still missing. The price is fixed before we start.
What if the answer is no?
Then the answer comes within 4 weeks, before anything larger is spent. The record shows why, with the figures behind it, and what would have to change for the project to pay. A reasoned no protects capital, at the same price as a yes.
What do you need from us?
Only what the site already holds. One structured request at the start, no new measurements, and no site visit for the scan. Everything public we source ourselves. A Lender Readiness Pack or Pre-BFS adds a site visit, priced into its quote.
Does it work for a site that already has solar or a battery?
Yes. The scan looks at the whole site as it runs today, including existing solar, storage and generators, and shows what they deliver against what they could.
Will the numbers hold up with a bank?
Every line carries its source and its date. A lender's adviser can trace every input to its source and check the arithmetic behind every derived figure. The doctrine and methodology that decide what to calculate stay with us, applied the same way on every site.
Why 20 years?
Solar, storage and grid assets are financed over long lives, and a one-year view can hide what happens in year ten. With monitoring, measured data replaces modelled inputs year by year.
Who is accountable if AI builds the record?
People. AI does the production by fixed steps and checks each figure against its source. A Greenyield expert approves every record before release.
Do you sell batteries or solar panels?
No. We vet which technology partners are fit to deliver and write the specification they quote and build against. The owner compares like with like and keeps the final choice. Any supplier arrangement is part of the client's contract.
Who owns the site data?
The site's data stays the client's. The client receives the record to use and to share with its board, lenders and advisers. All other rights, including in the method and in anonymised learning, are set out in the agreement. Personal data is handled as described in our privacy notice.
What does this give a ministry or regulator?
Site-level evidence instead of national averages: what outages cost per site, how much generator diesel can be replaced by solar and storage, and which route pays under open access. Every figure carries its source and date, so it can be checked before policy rests on it. Greenyield also advises ministries and regulators directly, from open access and energy management rules to sovereign energy and firm power for AI compute. What is shared with public bodies is anonymised and aggregated.
Start with one site
One site is enough to start. Within 4 weeks, its record shows what it is worth.
Where it is, roughly what it uses and whether it runs a diesel generator as backup is enough for a first conversation. Scans start in order of request.

Voluntary. Sharing your details is voluntary. Without them we cannot reply to you.
Who receives it. Only the service providers that host our website and email, acting on our instructions. Where they process data outside the EU or Kenya, we rely on the safeguards those laws require. We do not sell your data or use it for unrelated marketing.
How long and how safe. We keep it only as long as needed for your request and our business relationship, or as the law requires, with access limited to the people who need it.
Your rights. You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to its use, by writing to [email protected]. You can also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or Kenya's Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

Kenya. For people in Kenya we apply the Data Protection Act, 2019. Where registration with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner is required, we register.
