Kenya recorded its highest electricity demand of 2,149 megawatts (MW) in December, pressing the country to step up its generation capacity.

Data from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that the peak was recorded on December 14 last year, attributed to an uptick in economic activities.
