TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya is now powering over half of its fuel stations with solar energy as it shifts away from the national grid to cut costs and ensure consistent electricity supply.

• As of December 2025, 154 out of 285 TotalEnergies stations in Kenya, representing 54.03 percent, were solar-powered.
• This initiative by TotalEnergies, the second biggest oil marketer in Kenya, aims to reduce electricity bills from Kenya Power and lower carbon emissions.
• The move is part of a broader trend among major companies in Kenya adopting alternative energy sources, which could potentially impact Kenya Power's revenue.

Safaricom is joining a global coalition of technology and financial firms, including Meta, TikTok, and Google, to combat the illegal wildlife trade. The initiative was announced during London Climate Action Week as part of a forum convened by The Royal Foundation’s United for Wildlife.

• The participating companies represent a fifth of the global e-commerce market and 90 percent of the world’s social media users.
• Safaricom, alongside Vodafone and Vodacom, will leverage AI in their M-Pesa mobile money platform for anti-money-laundering and transaction monitoring to disrupt financial flows linked to wildlife trafficking.
• The illegal wildlife trade generates an estimated $23 billion annually, threatening approximately 1 million plant and animal species.
