The governments of Avellaneda City (Argentina), Kisumu County (Kenya), and West Nusa Tenggara Province (Indonesia), in partnership with ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, launched roadmaps that will help them achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050.
These roadmap documents are the result of an extensive consultation process under the 100% Renewables Cities and Regions Roadmaps project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) through the International Climate Initiative (IKI).

Each roadmap is tailored to the context of the respective territory, considering its renewable energy resources and demographics, and presents policy recommendations, potential sources of finance, and methods for monitoring and evaluating progress. This results in distinct pathways, customized priorities, and realistic goals for each location: Avellaneda City, Argentina, focuses on bioenergy and renewable energy integration; Kisumu County, Kenya, prioritizes reliable electricity access and clean cooking technologies; and West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, emphasizes energy efficiency in buildings and industries, and the reduction of fossil fuels.
In addition to the roadmaps, the project has produced other major resources to support cities around the world in their transition. The lessons learned from the project were distilled in a package of policy recommendations.
