President William Ruto has confirmed that Kenya is currently implementing daily power rationing, specifically load-shedding between 5 PM and 10 PM, to stabilize the national grid and manage increasing demand. He stated that over Ksh. 1 trillion is required to bolster the country's power capacity.

• Kenya needs Ksh. 1.2 trillion (approximately $10 billion to $12 billion) to increase its power capacity to at least 5,000 megawatts.
• The current peak power demand stands at 3,158 megawatts, while the available capacity is 2,300 megawatts, leading to insufficient supply.
• Kenya Power has corroborated the President's statement, citing an overwhelmed grid due to higher demand during evening hours and reduced solar and wind power supply.
• On October 24, 2025, Kenya recorded a peak demand of 2,411.98 MW and daily energy consumption of 44,122.60 MWh, according to KenGen, with no load-shedding reported on that specific date.
