Kenya continues to lead East Africa in the number of homes connected to electricity according to the Energy Progress Report.
The country’s electricity access rate stands at 56 percent, compared to that of Tanzania at 32.8 percent, Rwanda’s 29.37 percent, Uganda’s at 26.7 percent and Burundi’s at 7.5 percent making it the highest in East Africa and a number of other African countries according to a report by the World Bank tracking global achievements in sustainable energy for all.
The electricity access rate in the country was at 73.42 percent as at the end of April 2018 given the numerous national electrification projects by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC).
Kenya’s electricity access rate has grown gradually in the last half a decade from a low of 32 percent in the year 2013 owing to enhanced investment in the circulation network and amplified investment in renewable energy generation.
The report revealed that access to electricity among the rural population improved by 7.17 percent in 2010 to 48.39 percent in the period studied while that of the urban population rose from 58.2 percent to 77.6 percent.
Electricity in Kenyan homesteads is used in lighting, cooking, and electronics amongst other ways. Access to electricity in urban areas enables a 24-hour economy as light reduces crime which gives business the courage to operate even after nightfall.
The report shows that a number of the strongest gains were made in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh as they all improved their electricity access rate by 3 percent.
Kenya Power is still challenged by the mandate to achieve widespread access to electricity by the year 2020.
The Jubilee Government has however been criticized for claiming that 71 percent of Kenyans are connected to electricity during a launch of their Last Mile Connectivity Project while a report by Africa Check showed that it is 58.4 percent of Kenyans. Whatever the figures are, Kenya is leading on electricity connectivity and it definitely, has business booming.

Si nyinyi mlikua mnalia kuhusu kerosene? Eti bibi yako anaataabika kwa kuongeza ushuru kwenye mafuta. Tz habari ya mafuta ya taa ilikufa na JK, you either have solar or connected to the national grid. Mambo ya karne ya 10 hayapo tena.

Unajipiga kifua bure, nchi yenu ya Tz ambayo ni kubwa zaidi ya Kenya kwa mbali sana na bado usambazaji wa umeme upo 32.8%. Karibia nusu ya usambazaji Kenya. Mleta mada leta tafsiri ya taarifa yako kwa lugha ya kiswahili. Kuna watu hapa ambao umewakanganya sana.

Ona huyu. Kidogo kidogo utasikia mzungu anamchafua Jiwe wetu. [emoji1] Wabongo bana, mnapenda kufukia vichwa vyenu mchangani zaidi ya hata mbuni.
 
Tukisema Kenya ndio kuongea hapa EA please tusibishane[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
 
Ila Kenya mnatengenezaga chuki wenyewe, sasa huyo mwandishi kaandika pumba gani. Ndiyo maana mnatengwa, mnapenda sana kujikuza na kuchafua wengine.
 
I am disappointed, how is it less than 70%?
 
Hiyo ripoti ni ya uongo. Wakandarasi wa Umeme wa vijijini wana strugle kupata watu wa kuwaunganisha na umeme lakini hawapatikani. Kila nyumba wanayoenda kuna umeme. Kati ya vijiji elfu 30 ni chini ya vijiji elfu 6 tu ndio havijapata umeme wa grid, yet majority wana umeme wa solar. Hiyo riport imetokana na desk research. Wakitaka kupata ukweli wakawahoji REA au macontractor wa REA.
Kuna jamaa anasema REA awamu ya nne itakuwa ngumu kwa kuwa macontractor hawatokua na watu wa kuwaunganisha kwa kuwa wote waliobaki watakuwa wameshafikiwa na awamu ya tatu ambayo huenda ikakamilika before 2020.
 
Prove ni uwongo basi[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] buda! Kenya is not Tz! Uwivu haitawasaidia.

Boss, ni connected to electricity sio mambo ya solar ama koroboi;;;;;;; GRID ELECTRICITY
 
Labda mwandishi aje atukumbushe vijiji vya Tanzania ambavyo havina umeme, sikatai vipo ila ni vya kutafuta na tochi, umeme umefanikiwa sana Tz REA, ime na bado inafanikisha kwa vijijini, hizi datas sio reliable ni za mwaka 47, na narudia tena kudiriki kusema kuwa Wakenya wanafikiria Tz ya leo ni sawa na ile ya 1947😂😂😂😂 Endeleeni ya kufikiria hivyo sisi twasonga
 
Jubilee ndio inawadanganya mmefikia 71% wakat uhalisia ni 58.4% haha

Btw report shows that a number of the strongest gains were made in Kenya, Tanzania,Ethiopia and Bangladesh as they all improved their electricity access rate by 3%

Hehee, ona hii kishoia.
Acha umbulula, solar inatoa electricity, they're not connected to main grid, but wana access electricity through solar power. Unajua hata solar ni nini kweli wewe.
