Tatu City, the 5,000-acre Special Economic Zone (SEZ) on Nairobi’s doorstep, has boosted the power supply to new businesses as they complete the construction of their facilities in Tatu Industrial Park. Fed from Tatu City’s 135MVA substation, the companies have been provided with 12MVA of power, a five-fold increase from the current demand at the new city.

Tatu Power, Tatu City’s privately licensed power supply and distribution company regulated by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) recently provided permanent power connections to;

“Tatu City’s uptime is currently above 99%, as a result of the activation of Tatu City’s 66/11kV 135MVA substation, which is an unprecedented private investment in East Africa,” said Alex Kahu, Head of Utilities at Tatu City.

Kenya’s first operational SEZ, Tatu City is designated as a Project of Strategic National Importance. Tatu Industrial Park is the largest private light industrial zone in East Africa, with more than 70 companies operational or under development. The first phase of Tatu Industrial Park is 95% sold. A second phase was added to meet market demand.

Power demand at Tatu City is projected to triple in 2023 as more businesses and residents move to the city. Tatu City has an integrated utilities approach for residents and business owners. In addition to power, there is the world-class provision of water, sewerage, and ICT.
