An analysis of average daily energy demand for the financial year 2024/25 reveals a clear pattern in how Kenyans consume electricity. As is common globally, demand is highest during the working week.
The peak day for consumption is Wednesday, with a demand of 41,011.49 MWh, closely followed by Tuesday at 40,566.79 MWh and Thursday at 40,454.74 MWh.
Consumption remains high on Friday (40,083.01 MWh) and Monday (38,002.81 MWh), reflecting the heavy power usage associated with business operations, industry, and a general return to routine.
Predictably, the lowest consumption occurs during the weekend, with demand dropping significantly on both Saturday (38,716.63 MWh) and the week's lowest on Sunday (34,559.69 MWh).
This trend confirms that energy usage traditionally peaks on weekdays and declines as the weekend approaches.
