A Legacy of Engineering Excellence.

Malindi Solar Project

• Capacity: 40MW
• Scope: Utility-scale solar power project technical packaging.

Impact: Enabling large-scale renewable integration into the national grid. For the 40MW Malindi Solar PV Project, Enerfrik provided comprehensive engineering consulting services critical to taking the project from concept to construction-ready status. As a local partner to the project developer, Globeleq, our mandate included supporting the meticulous packaging of engineering studies, such as detailed topographical surveys to optimize site layout, hydrological and hydraulic studies to manage flood risks, and geotechnical investigations to ensure foundation stability. By delivering this rigorous technical groundwork, we de-risked the development phase, ensuring the project met stringent investor and regulatory requirements for grid interconnection.

Feasibility Study on Juja Road 220, 132/66kv Substation

• Scope: Comprehensive feasibility study for system control and distribution reinforcement.
• Partners: Executed for FINIDA in conjunction with Ekono Energy (Finland) and Enerfrik Ltd. (Kenya).
• Impact: Modernizing Nairobi’s power distribution network. This critical study was aimed at reinforcing the power distribution infrastructure for Nairobi and its environs. By analyzing the requirements for upgrading the Juja Road substation to 220/132/66kV, the project laid the groundwork for a more robust and reliable grid. The study focused on system control enhancements and distribution network reinforcement, providing a roadmap for upgrading the capacity and stability of the power supply to meet the growing demands of the capital city.

Minigrid Construction – REREC (Multiple Sites)

• Scope: Rural electrification and energy access.
• Impact: Bringing light and economic opportunity to off-grid communities. These minigrids act as self-sustaining energy ecosystems for remote villages, effectively bridging the divide between urban centers and rural hinterlands. By delivering reliable, grid-quality electricity to previously underserved regions, we catalyze local economic activity—powering healthcare centers, enabling digital learning in schools, and supporting small businesses like mills and welding shops. This transition from kerosene and diesel to clean energy not only elevates the standard of living but also creates a foundation for long-term socio-economic resilience, empowering communities to participate fully in the national economy.

Safaricom Infrastructure Maintenance

• Scope: Critical infrastructure maintenance.
• Impact: Securing vital connections and ensuring unbroken reliability for millions of subscribers. Safaricom’s network is the lifeline for millions, underpinning communication, mobile money, and business operations across the region. Enerfrik’s maintenance mandate goes beyond simple repairs; it is a commitment to 24/7 network availability. We implement a rigorous regimen of preventive maintenance on critical power infrastructure, including backup generators, rectifiers, and battery banks, to preempt failures before they impact service. Our rapid-response teams are strategically positioned to address faults instantly, minimizing downtime and ensuring that the network remains resilient against grid instability. This operational vigilance directly protects Safaricom’s reputation for reliability and ensures seamless connectivity for its vast subscriber base.

Helios Towers – DRC

• Capacity: 300kW across multiple sites.
• Scope: Telecom tower power hybridization.
• Impact: Ensuring 99.9% uptime for critical connectivity in remote locations with reliable off-grid power. In the remote and challenging terrain of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, maintaining continuous telecom service is critical but difficult due to a lack of grid access. For this project, Enerfrik delivered a hybridized power solution that combines solar generation with battery storage and diesel backup to power multiple tower sites. By reducing reliance on expensive and logistically complex diesel fuel, our solution slashed operational expenditures (OpEx) while significantly lowering the carbon footprint of each tower. More importantly, it guaranteed the resilient power supply necessary to maintain uninterrupted connectivity, supporting vital communication networks for communities and businesses in underserved regions.

Adix Plastics – Nairobi, Kenya

• Capacity: 1.2MW
• Scope: Manufacturing facility electrification and renewable integration.

Impact: Stabilized production cycles and increased operational autonomy. By integrating a robust 1.2MW renewable energy solution, we have insulated Adix Plastics from the volatility of grid fluctuations, ensuring consistent power quality for sensitive injection molding machinery. This stability directly translates to fewer interruptions, minimized material waste from abrupt shutdowns, and a more predictable production schedule. Furthermore, the reduced dependency on the national grid empowers the facility with greater control over its energy costs and long-term operational planning, turning energy from a variable risk into a managed strategic asset.

Marco Borero – Nyeri, Kenya

• Capacity: 1.65MW (DC)
• Scope: Utility-scale grid-connected solar PV.
• Impact: Stabilizing the regional grid and pioneering independent power production. This landmark 1.65MW project is one of Kenya’s first privately owned solar plants to achieve commercial operation, feeding clean energy directly to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC). Despite early funding hurdles due to its scale, the project successfully reached financial close through a strategic equity partnership with REPP and senior debt from AFD’s SUNREF programme. By injecting approximately 1,929 tonnes of avoided CO2e annually into the grid, it directly supports Kenya’s Vision 2030 and NDC targets, demonstrating the viability of decentralized renewable generation while creating local jobs and building capacity in the sector.

East Africa Datacenters – Nairobi, Kenya

• Capacity: 1MW
• Scope: Solar system integration and grid interface for critical digital infrastructure.

Impact: Enabling data sovereignty and digital growth in East Africa. This flagship project involved the seamless integration of a high-performance solar PV system into the facility's existing 1MW power infrastructure. Enerfrik’s scope focused on ensuring our renewable energy solution interfaced perfectly with the site’s high-availability grid connections, advanced UPS systems, and synchronized backup generators. By contributing to the facility's redundant power mix, we helped reinforce the foundational stability required for critical IT loads, directly supporting the region's expanding digital ecosystem and ensuring data sovereignty for local enterprises.
