Kenya Electricity Power Supply

In Kenya, electricity is mainly generated from Hydro, Thermal and Geothermal sources – with wind generation accounting for less than 6 Megawatts of the installed capacity. Currently, hydropower comprises over 40 percent of the installed capacity in Kenya and is sourced from various stations managed by the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen).

National grid
The national grid is operated as an integral network linked by a 220 kV and 132 kV transmission network. There is a limited length of 66 kV transmission lines. The national grid impacts on the future growth of the energy sector because any new generation capacity must take into consideration the existing network and its capacity to handle new loads.

Expansion
Kenya Power reinforces the power transmission and distribution network by constructing additional lines and substations.

Efficiency
Efficiency of the transmission and distribution network continues to be enhanced in both technical and non-technical aspects. (See our annual report for more information on transmission system plans.) Technical improvements include re-conducting of lines, installation of capacitors, and construction of additional feeders and substations. Non-technical improvements include introduction of electronic meters, improvement of meter reading accuracy, fraud control and resolution of billing anomalies.

Supply and demand of electricity
Kenya Power currently has more than 2.6 million customers. Total electricity consumption in the 2012/2013 financial year was 8,087 gigawatt hours. The maximum daily electricity peak demand recorded in the last financial year (2012/2013) was 1,353 MW.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kenya Power Bill

How much power can I buy?

You can buy as much power as you wish.

What happens to my current electricity deposit when I install a prepaid meter?

Your current electricity deposit will be refunded if you have no debt.

Will the meter affect my geyser/hot water?

No, the meter will not affect your geyser/hot water.

How will the Kenya Power technician be identified?

Kenya Power technician will come in a team and bear a company identification card. He will also have a prepayment meter, which will be used to replace the existing credit meter.

Once the new prepaid meter is installed, will the Kenya Power technicians still come to read my meter?

No, the meter reading is not necessary for the prepayment metering system. However, our Kenya Power technicians will be visiting customer premises from time to time to carry out inspections as required by law.

If I have an overdue bill, will my electricity be shut off when the technician comes to install the new meter?

No, your electricity will not be shut off; however, you should endeavor to clear the debt prior to conversion, otherwise, the bill will be transferred to the prepayment system. If the transfer occurs, on subsequent purchase of electricity, a portion of your payment will be deducted and used to reduce the arrears.

Will my electricity be shut off when the credit runs out?

Yes, your electricity will be shut off (disconnected) when your credit runs out. However, the meter will give a warning when the credit falls below 20Kwhrs. When faced with this situation it is advisable to top up your credit so as to avoid disconnection.

How does prepaid metering benefit me?

In case of a disconnection, you can refill the service without paying an additional deposit. It also enables you to manage your power consumption.

How do prepaid meters work?

A customer purchases electricity token and credit units to his meter by typing a given code on the meter’s customer interface unit screen. As the customer uses electricity, his/her credit balance is reduced each day until the units are exhausted prompting the customer to top it up.

What is a prepaid power meter?

It is a type of meter with a customer interface unit that has a screen resembling that of a mobile phone which allows customers to manage their power consumption the same way they manage credit units for their mobile phones.
