Njoroge further said that sub-stations would be increased in the city centre, Westlands, Hurlingham, Lavington and Kileleshwa.
“Those areas you have seen that the character of the buildings has been changing from single dwelling houses to apartments calling for enhanced electricity supply.”
Njoroge was speaking at the company’s 91st Annual General Meeting held at the Bomas of Kenya.
Kenya Power recorded a profit of Sh4.6 billion in the 2011/2012 financial year up from Sh4.2 billion the year before, although company chairman Eliazar Ochola said the profit could have been higher were it not for prohibitive fuel costs.
The MD said it would take the long term measure of increased geo-thermal energy creation to shield consumers from high fuel costs adding that Kenya Power is powerless to do so in the short term.
The cost of electricity is set to go even higher with Njoroge calling on the Energy Regulatory Commission to take the belated measure of revising electricity tariffs.
Shareholders will receive a dividend of 30 cents per ordinary share having already received an interim dividend of 20 cents.
