Kenya Power hits record electricity sales in a year on demand
Electricity demand has been on a steady rise, marked by fresh peak demands that have, however, cast doubts on Kenya Power’s ability to meet the rising consumption amid growing imports from Ethiopia.
Kenya Power’s electricity sales grew by 1,389.42 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the period ended June 2026, marking the sharpest rise in four years on increased connections and surging demand.
Provisional data shows Kenya Power sold 12,792.42 GWh in the period, a rise of 12.2 percent from 11,403 GWh a year ago, reflecting the impact of growing demand for electricity and the 411,710 new connections.
