Kenya Power records a massive 188% jump in electricity sales to the e-mobility sector, earning Sh190.8 million as drivers flock to the cheaper, greener special EV tariffs.
The electric mobility revolution has arrived in Kenya, and for the national utility provider, it is literally electric. Kenya Power has reported a stunning surge in revenue from the e-mobility sector, signaling a definitive shift in the country’s transport landscape.
Kenya Power is cashing in on the green transition. The utility firm has revealed that revenue from charging electric vehicles (EVs) hit Sh190.8 million in 2025, a figure that represents not just a new income stream but the dawn of a new era. With 8.4 million kilowatt-hours consumed by EVs—a staggering 188% increase from the previous year—the data offers irrefutable proof that Kenyans are embracing electric transport at an unprecedented rate.
This boom is not accidental. It is the result of a calculated interplay between aggressive infrastructure expansion and supportive government policy. The introduction of the e-mobility tariff has been a game-changer, incentivizing adoption by lowering the cost of "fueling" for EV owners.
For a company often criticized for high costs and outages, the e-mobility sector offers a rare good news story. It provides a stable, growing demand for off-peak power, helping to balance the grid. Moreover, it positions Kenya as a regional leader in sustainable transport.
As more electric buses, motorcycles, and taxis hit the roads of Nairobi, the "whir" of electric motors is replacing the rumble of diesel engines. For Kenya Power, that sound is the sweet music of profitability. The future of transport is electric, and the meter is already running.
