2025 ESAK C&I Conference
Kenya’s Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sector has experienced a rapid transformation, driven mainly by the increasing demand for reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly energy solutions. The first edition of the C&I Conference was held in March 2024 under the theme -‘Accelerating C&I Installations for Sustainability’.
The 2025 edition themed “Driving Reliability through C&I” will delve into the changes we’ve seen in Kenya’s policy framework such as the Net-Meeting regulations, increased uptake of C&I solutions with installation projections set at 600MW by 2028 as well as tailored finance solutions. As at 2024, the installed C&I capacity stood at 450MW according to EPRA. This can be attributed to factors such as technological advancement, reduced cost, reliability, and a push for emission reduction among others.
The two-day conference and exhibition by the Electricity Sector Association of Kenya (ESAK) and partners is designed to be a meeting point for technology users, project developers, policy makers, energy utilities in generation, transmission and distribution in the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sector.
The event will bring together the latest technologies in the C&I space, investment portfolios for financing and benchmark case studies showing best practices on policy and regulations across Africa and how to make the sector investor-friendly while promoting sustainable local growth.
