As ports around the world modernize, the shift toward cleaner and more efficient transport systems is becoming essential. This month, Cusum Energy completed a detailed Feasibility Study on the Adoption of E-Mobility within a Port Environment, exploring how electric vehicles and electric cargo-handling equipment can transform daily operations.

The goal was simple: to understand whether the port is ready for e-mobility, what the transition would require, and how much the port stands to gain from reducing its dependence on diesel-powered systems.

Electricity is the backbone of Kenya’s economy. It powers industries, drives businesses, lights homes, and supports the growth of emerging sectors such as technology and renewable energy. Behind the scenes, however, the stability of our power system depends on more than just generation and distribution it also depends on how efficiently electricity is used.

The paper manufacturing process is one of the most energy-intensive industrial operations from pulping to drying and finishing, every stage relies on substantial electricity and heat. Recently, Cusum Energy conducted an energy audit at a paper mill, aimed at identifying opportunities for efficiency, reducing operational costs, and promoting sustainable production.
