Billing for Kenya’s power imports from Ethiopia triples to Sh8.7bn
Kenya has, in recent years, increased its reliance on Ethiopia to avert blackouts, importing 1,274.42 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the year ended June 2025.
The billing for Kenya’s electricity imports from Ethiopia nearly tripled to Sh8.68 billion (Birr 10.45 billion) in the year ended July 2025, signalling the country’s deepening reliance on power supply from Addis Ababa.
Disclosures from Ethiopia Electric Power (EEP) show this was a 187.8 percent increase from Sh3.01 billion (Birr 3.63 billion) the previous year.
