Kenya Power Fibre Optic Network

Telecommunications Business Unit (TBU)
 

Kenya Power, having been issued with a Network Facility Provider - Tier 2 License by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), has now developed a telecommunications business unit, “U-Telco” for its fibre optic business. Kenya Power’s fibre optic cable rides on the existing extensive power transmission and distribution network across the country.

Kenya Power aims to deliver a complete line of telecommunications products to CCK-licensed application and content service providers. This will enable the licensed serviced providers to meet their ever increasing bandwidth demand for voice, data and video.

 

Since the launch of its fibre optic business in early 2010, the Company has signed lease agreements with a number of telecommunications operators including Safaricom, Airtel, Liquid Telecom Ltd, Jamii Telecommunications, Indigo Telecommunication Ltd and Wananchi Telecom Ltd.  

 

 

The extensive telecommunications network will also provide inter-connection for Kenya to the entire Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) region and beyond. 

 

Kenya Power is currently offering dark fibre on 5, 15, and 20 years Indefeasible Rights of Use (IRU) at competitive market driven prices. Completed routes include:
