Huawei Digital Power is set to cap the rising cost of electricity for high consumers, including manufacturers, by at least 10 per cent using its latest range of contingency energy packs known as Power S.
The new solution, launched in Nairobi today, uses Huawei’s proprietary SmartLi technology, which can store between 10 and 100 kilowatts.
The former can light up a home for about 3 hours, while the latter can simultaneously power up to 50 homes.
When he unveiled Power S at a Partner Summit in Nairobi, Wang Bao, Director of Huawei Kenya Digital Power, said that the development was informed by an unravelling future in which electricity consumers quickly evolve into prosumers.

“This digitalization has led to the reality of the need for data centers. We expect this trend to grow across all industries, particularly manufacturing,” he noted.
The tech firm anticipates that artificial intelligence will increase 30-fold by 2030, while computing power demand will rise 500-fold.
It is also in anticipation that Kenya’s data centre market will only grow at an estimated 13 per cent and generate more than Sh10 billion by 2027.
Amid rising demand for energy and an unstable or unreliable grid electricity supply, Huawei’s Power S addresses the current high electricity costs.
The Power-S takes a concise time to implement the power backup solution and has a management component allowing easier troubleshooting.
