Households drove Kenya Power’s record high electricity sales in the year to June 2026, accounting for half of the additional 1,374Gigawatt-hours (GWh) the utility sold amid increased connections and widening use of power.
Electricity sales to homes grew 19 percent to 4,327GWh from 3,641GWh a year ago –fastest growth of Kenya Power’s four consumer categories— as the utility’s total unit sales grew 12 percent to 12,777GWh in the period from 11,403GWh.
