KPLC Reports Record High Electricity Demand, Plans for Continued Growth

Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has reported a significant increase in electricity consumption, with peak demand reaching a record high of 2,316 MW on February 12, 2025. According to KPLC's National Control Centre, electricity demand has been steadily rising over the past three years, with a noticeable acceleration in growth during 2024.

In 2021, KPLC saw electricity demand surpass the 2,000 MW mark, followed by peaks of over 2,100 MW in 2022 and 2,200 MW in 2023. The momentum continued to build in mid-2024, driven by significant infrastructure developments aimed at stabilizing the National Grid.

Key projects that have contributed to this growth include the completion of the Kimuka 220/66kV substation by KETRACO, which introduced four 66kV feeder lines to serve Nairobi and neighboring counties. Additionally, the 33kV double circuit interconnector between Narok and Bomet, along with other network reinforcement initiatives, have bolstered power supply reliability.

KPLC also reported connecting over 198,535 new customers to the national grid in the last six months alone. The company anticipates continued growth in electricity demand in the short and medium term due to improved grid stability and the completion of connectivity projects. This includes the upcoming Last Mile Phases IV and V, which will connect an additional 289,121 customers.

In line with this demand, KPLC is promoting the adoption of e-cooking and electric motorization to further stimulate electricity consumption while supporting environmental conservation efforts. Last year, the company announced a Ksh.258 million investment over three years to boost electric vehicle and motorbike usage in the country. This initiative includes the establishment of charging stations and the purchase of electric vehicles for operational use.

While KPLC is working to improve efficiency and enhance revenue as demand peaks, the company faces challenges with the indicative firm capacity of 2,344 gigawatt hours.
