The 12th POWER & ENERGY KENYA 2025 and the 10th SOLAR KENYA 2025 will take place from the 26th to 28th of June 2025 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi,Kenya will play host to two major regional energy exhibitions—Power & Energy Kenya 2025 and Solar Kenya 2025—from June 26 to 28 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
Now in their 12th and 10th editions, respectively, the exhibitions will bring together over 150 companies from more than 25 countries, showcasing technologies in electricity generation, solar energy, and renewable power solutions.
Kenya has been looking to ride on such events to shore up its tourist numbers even as it intensifies investment into Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions.
The exhibitions are expected to draw participants from countries including China, India, the UAE, Germany, South Africa, Turkey, and Kenya, among others.
Exhibitors will display a wide range of equipment and technologies related to energy production, distribution, and solar integration.
"The event provides an opportunity for the industry stakeholders to explore new technologies on the solar and energy ecosystem" said Expogroup's Sales Manager for East Africa Johnson Mkoka.
Organizers say the exhibitions aim to promote collaboration and highlight innovations that can support the region's energy transition.
Scheduled to be officially opened by Nuclear Power and Energy Agency CEO Justus Wabuyabo, the events will also serve as a meeting point for manufacturers, suppliers, policymakers, and investors.
Among the companies expected to participate are ALLTOP Solar Africa (Kenya), SUNSYNK (Tanzania), ACTOM (South Africa), and Kontrolmatik Teknoloji (Turkey).
The exhibitions have received backing from key sector bodies including the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO), and the Electricity Sector Association of Kenya (ESAK)—a reflection of their growing role in shaping East Africa’s energy landscape.
The event comes as Kenya continues to invest in expanding electricity access and incorporating more renewable sources into its energy mix.
Geothermal continues to lead in Kenya’s energy mix, accounting for over 26 per cent of the country’s installed electricity.
According to the biannual energy sector report by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) for the 2024–25 financial year, hydro and thermal power follow at 24 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively.
This is as it emerged that during the review period, no new power plants were connected to the national grid despite the rising energy demand in the country.
According to the report, geothermal remained the leading source of energy, generating 2,875.33 gigawatt-hour (GWh), a decline compared to last year.
