Kenya Power has announced a sponsorship of Shs.7.1 million towards the World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally Kenya 2025.

The sponsorship will be used to set up floodlights at the Safari Rally Service Park and enhance power supply to the Morendat Safari Rally Village thus easing electricity access for rally enthusiasts.

“Our participation in the WRC Safari Rally is a testament to our belief in the power of sports to unite people and drive positive change. We are proud to be associated with the WRC Safari Rally Kenya 2025 as the official lighting partner. We aim to provide enough electricity supply to light up the service centre and enable rally fans to charge their phones and other gadgets so as not to miss iconic moments,” said Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siror, Kenya Power’s Managing Director & CEO.

The Safari Rally Service Centre is located at the Wildlife Research and Training Institute (WRTI) in Naivasha and serves as the central hub where rally vehicles receive crucial maintenance and repairs between race stages. Enhanced lighting at the service centre will empower the service teams to work uninterrupted throughout the rally period.

Apart from the installation of lighting infrastructure, Kenya Power will also set up an exhibition pavilion at the Morendat Spectator Village to showcase its latest advancements in the push for the adoption of electric motorization (E-mobility) and E-cooking thus highlighting its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
