NAIROBI, Kenya- Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has announced a strong financial performance for the six months ended December 31, 2025, posting a net profit of Sh10.4 billion, up about 5 percent year‑on‑year.
The Nairobi Securities Exchange‑listed utility declared an interim dividend of Sh0.30 per share, up from Sh0.20 in the same period last year, reflecting improved earnings and confidence in future performance.
According to the unaudited results, the profit before tax rose to Sh14.83 billion for the period, up from Sh14.06 billion previously, driven by higher electricity sales and improved distribution efficiency.
Electricity revenue grew to Sh114.87 billion, supported by increased demand and better network performance.
KPLC also highlighted progress in strengthening its financial position, with negative working capital narrowing to Sh12.54 billion, down from Sh19.21 billion in June 2025, and total borrowings reducing by 6 percent to Sh84.23 billion.
The interim dividend is expected to be paid around March 27, 2026, to shareholders on the register by February 23, 2026.
Management said the company will continue investing in grid modernisation and loss‑reduction programmes to support sustained growth and reliable service delivery amid rising electricity demand.
