The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has posted a pre-tax profit of Ksh.14.83 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2025, representing a 5.5% increase from Ksh.14.06 billion recorded during the same period in 2024.
The utility attributed the growth to higher electricity sales, increased demand, improved distribution efficiency, and lower finance costs.
Revenue from electricity sales rose by 6.9%, increasing from Ksh.107.42 billion to Ksh.114.87 billion during the review period.
KPLC noted that stronger demand pushed electricity purchase costs up by Ksh.5.33 billion, with total energy purchases rising 8.3% to 7,807 GWh. However, the company reduced its borrowing by 6% to Ksh.84.23 billion, easing pressure from finance costs.
Total electricity unit sales increased by 10.5% to 6,086 GWh, while distribution efficiency improved from 76.35% to 77.97%, reflecting enhanced network performance and ongoing loss-reduction initiatives.
“Our improved operational efficiency and higher electricity demand have significantly contributed to the company’s improved financial performance,” said Kenya Power Managing Director and CEO Eng. Joseph Siror.
