The organization was founded in the year 2014 with the name Sustainable Energy Access Forum Kenya (SEAF-K). Since its inception, we have been hosted by the Kenya Climate Change Working Group (KCCWG) until its official registration with the Government of Kenya as an autonomous organization in October, 2024 after which the name rebranded to Sustainable Energy Access Association Kenya (SEAA-K). Sustainable Energy Access Association Kenya (SEAA-K) is a national membership network which aims to address the limited level of multi-stakeholder engagement by using a holistic approach that brings together the stakeholders in the energy sector and to provide a platform for addressing the various challenges encountered in the sector. The network aims to address key energy gaps that include Energy access, Energy efficiency, Renewable energy and Energy security.
