02 — Power & electrical infrastructure
Power distribution & electrical infrastructure in Kenya
We build the networks that carry electricity to homes, industry and institutions, safely, efficiently and ready for a renewable future.
Reliable power networks, from pole to panel
Expanding access to electricity is one of the most powerful drivers of progress. Scabbard delivers distribution networks, electrical construction and substation works for utilities, government programmes and industrial clients, and integrates solar and renewable systems where they make sense.
Power that reaches further, and lasts longer.
What we do
Power & electrical infrastructure services
Power distribution networks
Distribution lines, pole erection, conductor stringing and service connections.
Electrical construction works
Electrical installations for buildings, facilities and infrastructure, delivered to code.
Substation installation & upgrades
Installation, expansion and upgrading of substations and associated switchgear.
Industrial electrification
Dependable power supply and distribution for factories, plants and processing facilities.
Rural electrification
Extending the grid to rural homes, schools, health centres and trading centres.
Renewable energy integration
Connecting renewable generation into existing networks and facilities.
Clean energy
Solar PV & energy systems
Solar PV gives institutions, businesses and off-grid communities a dependable, lower-cost source of power. We design and install solar and related energy systems, and integrate them with grid supply where needed.
Solar PV design & installation
Systems sized to your load, site and budget.
Institutions & remote sites
Reliable power where the grid is weak or absent.
Grid integration
Renewables connected safely to existing infrastructure.
Our approach
Safety and standards on every circuit
Electrical work leaves no room for shortcuts. Our crews plan each job, isolate safely, and test thoroughly before anything is energised.
- Route surveys, load assessment and network design
- Material logistics (poles, conductors and hardware) to site
- Trained crews with proper PPE and safe isolation procedures
- Testing, commissioning and documented handover

What power infrastructure services does Scabbard offer?
Power distribution networks, electrical construction works, substation installation and upgrades, industrial and rural electrification, renewable energy integration, and solar PV and related energy systems.
Do you work on rural electrification programmes?
Yes. Rural electrification is one of our core power services, extending distribution networks to homes, schools, health facilities and trading centres.
Can you combine solar with grid power?
Yes. We design and install solar PV systems and integrate them with existing grid supply or backup systems, depending on your site and load requirements.
Can you also handle the civil and ICT parts of a project?
Yes, and that is what sets Scabbard apart. Our water & civil and IT divisions can deliver trenching, structures, SCADA, metering and communications alongside the electrical scope.
