The share of electricity that Kenya Power loses shrank to 21.2 percent in the year to June 2025 —the lowest in seven years— as the firm reaps the benefits of the smart meter rollout and revamping of the ageing lines.

This is a drop from the 23.16 percent for the previous year. The last time that the system losses were lower was 21 percent in the year ended June 2018.
