Kenya’s electricity demand is expected to grow at an annual 6.5percent between 2025 and 2027, a new forecast by the International Energy Association (IEA) shows, doubling the 3.2 percent growth pace recorded over the six years from 2018 to 2024 and piling pressure on generation programmes to curb outages.
Electricity peak demand in Kenya hit a record 2,316 megawatts (MW) on February 12, 2025, some 12MW higher than the previous peak of 2,3014MW recorded on January 15, 2025.
