Electricity consumption has hit a new record high with a peak demand of 2,316 MW recorded five days ago.
This demand is 12 MW higher than the previous peak of 2,304 MW recorded on January 15, 2025.
Kenya Power's Managing Director & CEO, Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siror said in a statement that the growth demand has largely been driven by investment in the stabilization of the National Grid and the construction of key projects including the completion of the Kimuka 220/66kV Substation by KETRACO, from which Kenya Power built four 66kV feeder lines to serve Nairobi and adjacent counties. "Looking at the trend, it took nearly two years for the peak demand to grow by 200 MW.
However, since June last year, peak demand has grown by over 116 MW.
