"The Company has consistently invested heavily towards the expansion of the grid's capacity and its automation to accommodate the exponential growth in demand for electricity and to improve the flexibility of the grid and, in turn, the quality of power supply," said Kenya Power's acting Managing Director Geoffrey Muli.
Over the last five years, the power-firm has invested more than Sh40 billion in grid expansion and refurbishment projects. Over the last three years, approximately 90 percent of the electricity dispatched to the grid comprises of clean energy generated from hydro, geothermal, solar, and wind. "Through this office, we are working with investors and stakeholders to support the development of the e-mobility ecosystem, which entails the identification of sites for potential charging stations and developing requisite geo-mapping software to enable users to locate the nearest charging station," he added.
