Kenya’s maximum power demand crossed the 1,800-megawatt (MW) mark last month on increased consumption by a handful of large consumers.

The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) says that peak demand hit 1,802 MW on June 6 from 1,770 MW at the start of the year – a two per cent growth over the half-year period.
