Kenya Power is set to install 45 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in six counties in the next 12 months as the country moves towards cleaner and more sustainable transport solutions.
The rollout will target Nairobi, Nyeri, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, Mombasa and Taita Taveta with a special focus on Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) where six chargers will be installed. This is part of Kenya Power’s e-mobility infrastructure strategy to strengthen charging accessibility and ensure adequate power supply to meet the growing EV demand.
According to Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siror, Kenya Power’s Managing Director and CEO, the initiative will create an enabling environment for players in the electric mobility space. “Part of our plan is to provide power and the necessary charging infrastructure so that motorists can travel with ease,” he said.
Currently Kenya Power has 13 EV charging stations already operational in Nairobi and this is a big step towards having a national charging network. The expansion comes as EV registrations in Kenya are on the rise. As of 2025 there are 9,047 registered electric vehicles, up from 5,294 in 2024 and 2,694 in 2023. Motorcycles account for 90% of all registered EVs in the country, this is a fast growing two-wheeler segment in the e-mobility ecosystem.
The government has committed to reduce carbon emissions by 32% by 2030 and the transport sector is a key area of focus due to its high carbon footprint. Electric mobility is seen as a key part of that solution.
