EPRA licenses Kenya's electricity undertakings and keeps the public registers, Kenya Power runs most of the transmission and distribution, and KEBS verifies regulated imports before shipment. We manufacture oil-immersed and dry-type distribution transformers and switchgear at our own factory in China, to the standard your project specifies.

20–2500 kVA range up to 35 kV class 15 days production after drawing approval
In Short

Kenya's electricity sector is regulated by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), which licenses electricity undertakings and publishes the registers of licensed electrical contractors, registered electrical workers and power undertakings. Kenya Power operates most of the country's transmission and distribution, and KETRACO plans, builds and maintains the high-voltage transmission grid. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) applies pre-export verification of conformity to regulated imports before shipment, and KS IEC 60076-1:2011 is Kenya's adoption of the IEC power-transformer standard. We manufacture oil-immersed and dry-type distribution transformers from 20 to 2500 kVA, up to the 35 kV class, plus ring main units and low-voltage panels, at our own factory in China. Every transformer ships with its routine test report. A 200 kVA oil-immersed distribution transformer is USD 2215 EXW, with regular batch production in about 15 days after drawing approval.

Specifications

Our standard production range. Every unit is built to the ratio, vector group and capacity you specify:

Voltage class Capacity Standard Typical use
11/0.4 kV 20–2500 kVA IEC 60076 series Pole- and pad-mounted distribution; commercial and light-industrial loads
up to 35 kV class up to 2500 kVA IEC 60076 series Sub-transmission and distribution substations
Dry-type, up to 35 kV on request IEC 60076 series Indoor and fire-sensitive sites
RMU and LV panel, up to 35 kV on request IEC design practice Transformer MV/LV interface and ring mains

Project-specific type-test documentation is not part of our standard scope. Tell us at enquiry stage if your project requires it.

Experience

In 2024, an oil-immersed transformer we supplied was delivered and commissioned in Kenya.

Common Questions
Do you build to Kenyan standards?
Distribution transformers for Kenya are built to the IEC 60076 series — KS IEC 60076-1:2011 is Kenya's adoption of Part 1 — and to the ratio and vector group you specify. KEBS certifies regulated imports under its pre-export verification of conformity programme before shipment. Send your specification and we confirm the design before production starts.
What are the payment terms and the lead time?
Regular batch orders are produced in about 15 days after the drawing is confirmed. The minimum order is one unit. Terms are 30% advance and 70% before shipment, with a one-year warranty from shipment.
Can switchgear be supplied with the same order?
Yes. Ring main units and low-voltage panels, up to 35 kV, can be quoted and shipped with your transformer order so that freight is consolidated.
