We couldn't be more proud of our Director – Lawrence Oriko for the honor in being recognized as the Energy Auditor of the year at the World Energy Day Conference 2020.
As August begins, we remain committed to helping organisations improve energy performance through practical engineering, data-driven insights, and sustainable solutions.
Here's to another month of innovation, collaboration, and measurable impact.

🔍 INSIDE AN ENERGY AUDIT | Compressed Air Systems
Our team recently carried out a compressed air system assessment at a steel manufacturing facility as part of an industrial energy audit.
YOU CAN'T MANAGE WHAT YOU DON'T MEASURE!
Many organizations invest in new equipment or renewable energy systems, yet overlook one of the most valuable assets for improving energy performance; accurate energy data.
Without measuring energy use, it's difficult to:
1.Identify where energy is being wasted.
2.Prioritize the most impactful improvements.
3.Quantify potential cost savings.
4.Track progress and verify results.
Energy efficiency begins with understanding how energy is consumed.
Reliable energy infrastructure also helps maintain product quality and supports uninterrupted service.

We recently supported a mini supermarket in Migori Town with a solar installation to enhance reliable day-to-day operations.
For retail businesses, energy keep the lights on, it supports refrigeration, point-of-sale systems, customer experience, and overall business continuity.
For many facilities, maintaining a healthy power factor is one of the simplest ways to improve electrical performance while avoiding avoidable utility charges(power factor surcharge). #WattSeriesbyMerculex#EnergyEfficiency
Power factor is often overlooked until penalties begin appearing on electricity bills.
A low power factor means your electrical system is not using power as efficiently as it could, leading to higher costs and unnecessary strain on equipment.
Congratulations to Mombasa Cement Limited – Athi River Plant on achieving the Energy Management Compliance Certificate under the Energy (Energy Management)Regulations, 2025.
Merculex is proud to have supported this journey & to see the outcomes of commitment to energy efficiency.
Earlier today, we awarded an Energy Management Compliance Certificate to Mombasa Cement Limited – Athi River Plant in recognition of its compliance with the Energy (Energy Management) Regulations, 2025.
Speaking during the award ceremony, @EPRA_KE's Director of Economic Regulation and Planning, Dr. John Mutua, commended the facility for embracing energy efficiency practices, noting that effective energy management delivers numerous benefits, including reduced operational costs, enhanced environmental sustainability, improved operational efficiency, and strengthened corporate social responsibility.
On his part, the Athi River Plant Manager, Jitu Joshi expressed appreciation to EPRA for its continued guidance and technical support in implementing energy management practices. “We have been implementing energy efficiency measures for more than a decade, and EPRA team has consistently provided valuable technical support throughout our journey,” he said.
EPRA remains committed to supporting commercial and industrial facilities in adopting energy efficient practices that drive sustainable economic growth, enhance competitiveness, and promote responsible energy use.

After conducting several electrical inspections across commercial and industrial facilities, one pattern continues to emerge: existence of installation and maintenance gaps
The challenge is that these issues rarely attract attention until they cause downtime, safety incidents, or equipment damage.
A well-executed inspection provides insight into asset condition, operational reliability, maintenance priorities, and future investment needs.
The regulations signal a shift from energy efficiency as a technical exercise to a performance and accountability priority. We recently conducted an Energy Manager Training, subcontracted by @KAM_Kenya focused on equipping professionals with practical skills in energy management
For facilities consuming at least 180,000 kWh annually, the Energy Management Regulations, 2025 now require the appointment of licensed Energy Managers.
Beyond compliance, this requirement is about building the internal capacity to actively manage and reduce energy costs.
