TRIFIC SEZ CEO Brenda Mbathi, DPA Kenya Ltd General Manager Anthony Mburu, and Centum Re Managing Director Kenneth Mbae sign a solar power partnership agreement.

The agreement will increase output from 1.2 megawatts (MW) to 3.2 MW.

Announced on Wednesday, the deal positions Two Rivers Power Company as the operator of the largest rooftop solar installation for residential and commercial use in East Africa.Two Rivers Power Company, an entity linked to TRIFIC SEZ and Centum Re, was set up to supply energy to the Two Rivers shopping, office, and residential complex.

Holding a power generation and distribution license, it manages a high-voltage line from Ruaraka to its substation at the Two Rivers Mall.

The current 1.2 MW solar plant, located in the mall’s parking area, will now be expanded to 3.2 MW.

“This development strengthens Centum Re’s position as a large-scale real estate developer committed to sustainability while guaranteeing a clean and reliable power supply for Two Rivers residents,” said Kenneth Mbae, Managing Director of Centum Re.

TRIFIC SEZ has outlined clean, affordable, and reliable energy as a key priority within its Special Economic Zone. “This investment adds value for businesses operating within TRIFIC SEZ by lowering electricity costs and reducing carbon emissions, an important consideration as sustainability becomes central to business operations,” said Brenda Mbathi, CEO of TRIFIC SEZ.

Kenya’s favourable climate makes it well-suited for both small- and large-scale solar energy solutions, according to industry experts.

Expanding the solar installation will not only lower energy expenses but also contribute to Kenya’s renewable energy transition and emissions reduction targets.

DPA-K, a subsidiary of global energy firm EDF, specialises in renewable energy solutions for businesses and industries without requiring upfront capital, while also managing operational and technical risks.

“Africa’s solar resources and available space provide an opportunity for energy transformation. Rooftops and open areas now serve as power generation sites, allowing businesses to manage costs, secure a stable power supply, and focus on core activities,” said Anthony Mburu, CEO of DPA-K.

The expanded solar project will enhance energy security and sustainability at the Two Rivers complex, a flagship development of Centum Investment Company PLC, which is listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).

The initiative reflects increasing investor interest in renewable energy infrastructure across Africa as businesses and governments address power supply challenges and environmental commitments.

Two Rivers, a development featuring a shopping mall, office spaces, and residential units, is among Nairobi’s most well-known mixed-use projects.

The additional solar capacity will meet rising energy demands while setting a benchmark for sustainable urban development in the region.
