Kenya Power has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Kenya’s flower industry through reliable electricity and increased access to clean, renewable energy as the sector advances its sustainability agenda.
Speaking during the Kenya Flower Council Pinnacle Sustainability Awards 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya Power Manager in charge of Sales, Eng. Dalton Lagat, said the flower industry remains a key pillar of the Kenyan economy and an important partner in the country’s development. Lagat highlighted Kenya Power’s growing focus on green energy, noting that more than 90 per cent of the electricity dispatched by the utility comes from clean, renewable sources, including geothermal, hydro, wind and solar power.
He said the shift towards cleaner energy aligns with growing demand in international markets for sustainably produced flowers, giving Kenya’s floriculture industry an opportunity to strengthen its environmental credentials and competitiveness. “A blooming industry requires uninterrupted power.”
Kenya Power said it is therefore continuing to invest in grid modernisation and automation to improve the reliability, quality and stability of electricity supplied to agricultural customers, including flower farms. The utility also said it is stepping up engagement with the flower sector to better understand the industry’s changing energy requirements and develop solutions that support sustainable growth.
The partnership comes as Kenya’s flower industry faces increasing pressure from international markets to demonstrate stronger environmental performance, while maintaining the quality and consistency that have made Kenyan flowers a major export. Kenya Power said deeper collaboration with the sector will help create energy solutions that support both business growth and the transition towards more sustainable floriculture.
