The power compnay is preparing to test the viability of an E-mobility network infrastructure system (Enis) in Nairobi and Nakuru for a period of six months.
The corporation is aiming to increase power sales in order to take advantage of the expanding e-mobility market.
The e-mobility market has witnessed increased demand for electric vehicles due to high fuel prices worldwide.
Automobile owners have been considering other options to reduce the cost of transportation, such as switching to electric cars or modifying their vehicles to run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Kenya Power claimed the trial will help it gather important data on the potential of the industry before deciding to roll out the electric vehicle charging business on a large scale.
To make it simpler for electric vehicle owners to charge their vehicles, the corporation will create a residential, business, and public charging infrastructure across the nation once the project is fully implemented.
