Abstract	Renewable energy for heating, cooling and transport fuels has grown steadily also the production of heat from renewable sources grew by 6% between 2005 and 2009, with the use of biomass being the dominant technology. However more “modern” heating technologies particularly solar heating, have seen an overall growth rate of nearly 12% between 2005 and 2009, but it is unclear the extent to which the innovations in this type of energy influence the growth of renewable energy use. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of energy project innovations on the growth of renewable energy use in Kisii County. Study established the influence of technological innovation on the growth of renewable energy use; the influence of service quality innovation on the growth of renewable energy use; the influence of marketing innovation on the growth of renewable energy use in Kisii County. The diffusion theory, The Technology Acceptance Model and the program theory directed the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted in this study. The study targeted 314 households in Kisii County, Kenya. The study applied simple random sampling technique. Data was analysed using descriptive analysis and both correlation and Regression analysis. The results show that availability of technological innovation had an influence on renewable energy growth and use in Kisii; inadequate service quality had a negative influence on renewable energy growth and use; and lack of effective marketing innovation had a negative influence on renewable energy growth in Kisii County.
