Kenya's power consumption reached a new peak of 2,362.28 megawatts (MW) on July 23, 2025, driven by industrial expansion, increased urbanisation, and rising domestic energy use. This surge, primarily met by clean energy sources, did not lead to load shedding but highlighted vital infrastructure needs.

• Power consumption hit a record 2,362.28MW on July 23, 2025, surpassing the previous high of 2,325.23MW.
• Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) attributes the rise to industrial growth and increased domestic demand.
• Geothermal and hydropower stations accounted for over 57 percent of Kenya’s daily electricity generation, making the country a global leader in clean energy.
• Despite the record demand, there was no load shedding, though some transmission lines exceeded 120 percent capacity, necessitating infrastructure upgrades.
• Eng. Peter Njenga, Managing Director and CEO of KenGen, stated their commitment to stable power supply and future renewable energy expansion.
