A new solar mini-grid in Kenya creates new opportunities]]'''The SUN-ESDS''' focuses on market-based energy solutions by providing global advisory services, implementing technical and financial measures and cooperating with relevant stakeholders in order to provide [[Access to energy for livelihoods in displacement settings]]. In Kenya, the project seeks to promote access to sustainable energy supply for refugees and their host communities in Turkana West Sub-county. The SUN-ESDS provided both technical and financial assistance for the construction of more than '''40 km of low and medium voltage power distribution lines''' in Kenya's Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement which hosts approximately '''48,000 refugees'''. Additionally, the project provided technical assistance to enable the existing solar mini-grid operator – Renewvia Energy Kenya Limited, attract financing from IFC through the Kakuma Kalobeyei Challenge Fund programme towards expansion of its '''solar mini-grid system from 60kWp to 541kWp with a 1.1 MWh of lithium-ion battery storage capacity''' and '''150 KVA backup generator'''. As a result, '''2,221 new connections (1,929 households, 275 businesses, and 17 social institutions)''' are now served by the expanded mini-grid. These new connections translate to a catchment area of approximately '''10,000 beneficiaries.'''
 On 23 October 2022, '''UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Filippo Grandi''', visited the newly expanded 541kWp Kalobeyei Settlement solar mini-grid. The mini-grid, which is owned and operated by a private-sector company Renewvia Energy, serves as a classic example of how the humanitarian-development-peace nexus can be operationalized to provide sustainable solutions to both refugees and host communities.
