Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy projects are mainly funded by the government through the exchequer. REREC has developed a participatory innovative approach in financing community projects through a cost sharing arrangement with the National Constituency Development Fund (NCDF), County Governments and other stakeholders.
The aim is to supplement the traditional source of funds. Under the program, the Corporation matches contributions from constituencies and counties to a maximum of Kshs. 5million per constituency for implementation of rural electrification projects in priority areas. This programme has been a great success and has enabled the Corporation to implement additional projects and therefore reaching more people.
