Vivo Energy Kenya cut its reliance on Kenya Power by 156 megawatts (MW) last year, becoming the latest big power consumer to reduce consumption of relatively more expensive electricity from the State utility firm.

The parent firm of the Kenyan oil marketer said that it installed a 150 kilowatt (kW) solar plant at its terminal in Nairobi, cutting supply from Kenya Power by an estimated 13,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) per month.
