Following tussles and court battles by the fintech industry in Kenya finally earlier today  Huawei has launched the “Digitalization White Paper for the Energy Industry” during the Huawei Kenya Energy Summit 2025 held in Nairobi, a document that outlines a comprehensive roadmap for the digital transformation of Kenya’s power sector.

The white paper serves as a blueprint for integrating smart technologies, strengthening grid resilience, and accelerating the adoption of clean energy solutions to meet Kenya’s growing energy needs sustainably.

The Digitalization Trends in the Electric Power Industry White Paper outlines a four-pronged blueprint for the transformation of the energy sector. It highlights the creation of digital green power plants using end-to-end digital twins and remote intelligent control; intelligent power grid inspection powered by automation and smart monitoring tools; multi-source self-healing distribution networks that leverage digital technologies for autonomous fault detection and recovery; and the coordination and complementarity of multiple energy sources, integrating smart campuses to optimize efficiency and sustainability. Collectively, these scenarios illustrate how digital innovation can modernize infrastructure, enhance grid reliability, and drive Kenya’s transition to a resilient, intelligent, and low-carbon energy ecosystem.

“Huawei Kenya Energy Summit 2025 marks a major step in driving Kenya’s energy digitalization journey,” said Hon. J. Opiyo Wandayi, EGH, Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum, as he officially opened the summit. “We applaud Huawei’s role in driving digital energy transformation through smart grids and renewable energy integration. Kenya remains dedicated to achieving universal access to clean, reliable, and modern energy by 2030 powered by innovation, collaboration, and sustainable technology.”
The launch of the White Paper brought together key players from Kenya’s power and energy sectors alongside ecosystem partners to explore digital solutions shaping the nation’s energy future. Discussions centered on the use of smart grids, AI, and cloud computing to enhance grid stability, operational efficiency, and renewable energy integration.
Benjamin Muoki, Manager of Telecommunications and Service Delivery at Kenya Power, highlighted the company’s ongoing digital transformation journey aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, customer experience, and network reliability. He emphasized Kenya Power’s investment in advanced technologies including a 100G national fiber backbone, SCADA automation, and cloud-based systems which are driving innovation and supporting Kenya’s transition toward a smarter, greener energy future.
Samuel Cheng, Managing Director Enterprise, Huawei Kenya, reaffirmed Huawei’s dedication to accelerating Africa’s transition to clean and intelligent energy. “Digitalization and innovation are redefining the energy landscape, with Kenya standing at the forefront of this transformation,” he said. “Together with ecosystems partners, Huawei is shaping a smarter, more sustainable energy ecosystem for generations to come.”
Through this initiative, Huawei underscores its commitment to sharing global expertise, fostering collaboration, and supporting Kenya’s national energy goals. The Digitalization White Paper offers actionable insights to guide stakeholders in modernizing infrastructure, optimizing resource use, and driving sustainable growth in the country’s energy sector.
