Did Kenya Power make profit?
Meanwhile, Kenya Power reported a profit after tax of KSh 24.47 billion for the 2024/25 financial year.
Despite an 18.7% dip from the previous year’s KSh 30.08 billion, the company’s total revenue rose to KSh 219.29 billion, with profit before tax reaching KSh 35.38 billion.
CEO Joseph Siror credited the performance to improved efficiency, tariff adjustments, and increased electricity consumption.
The board proposed a final dividend of KSh 0.80 per share, adding to the interim payout of KSh 0.20—marking two consecutive years of shareholder returns.
