The Nairobi region accounted for 45 percent of the extra 1.114 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity sold in the year to June 2026, underscoring the impact of heavy industrial presence and middle-class population in the capital and surroundings.
An analysis of data from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that Nairobi consumed 501.02 million kWh in the period, significantly ahead of the second-placed North Eastern region, which took 16 percent or 180 million kWh.
