The growth strategy was presented during an investor briefing in Kampala, Uganda, where the company outlined its FY2025/26 financial performance, regional operations and long-term investment plans.

The engagement brought together Ugandan investors and other key stakeholders to examine KPC’s business prospects and its contribution to strengthening energy infrastructure and petroleum supply across East Africa.

Speaking during the briefing, KPC Acting Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Pius Mwendwa said the company’s established infrastructure, financial position and regional footprint placed it in a strong position to attract investment and pursue new opportunities.

Mwendwa said the company’s expansion plans were designed to strengthen its competitiveness, diversify income sources and deliver sustainable returns to shareholders.

“KPC offers investors an opportunity to participate in a well-established energy infrastructure business with a strong regional footprint, solid financial fundamentals and significant growth opportunities,” he said.

He identified the expansion of the Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali pipeline corridor, development of fibre infrastructure, establishment of bulk LPG storage and bottling facilities, and entry into emerging regional oil and gas trading opportunities as key priorities.

The proposed Eldoret-Kampala-Kigali (EKK) Pipeline Project is expected to play a central role in KPC’s regional expansion ambitions.

The project seeks to extend the company’s petroleum transportation network beyond Kenya, strengthening cross-border energy connectivity between Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.

Through the proposed pipeline corridor, KPC aims to improve the efficiency of petroleum product transportation, enhance regional supply security and support growing energy demand across the East African market.

Uganda remains an important destination for Kenya’s petroleum infrastructure services, making the country a strategic partner in KPC’s long-term regional growth plans.

The proposed expansion is also expected to strengthen the company’s position as a key player in the regional energy supply chain.

KPC also highlighted Uganda’s newly launched 320-million-litre Kampala Storage Terminal as an important development in strengthening regional petroleum storage capacity.

The facility presents opportunities to improve petroleum storage and distribution while enhancing connectivity within the regional energy infrastructure network.

Increased storage capacity is particularly important for supporting reliable petroleum supplies and improving the efficiency of distribution across East African markets.

For KPC, developments in Uganda provide an opportunity to deepen regional partnerships and explore additional business opportunities linked to petroleum transportation and storage.

Beyond its traditional petroleum transportation business, KPC is looking to expand into sectors that can generate additional income.

The company plans to grow its fibre infrastructure and connectivity business, positioning itself to benefit from increasing demand for digital communication infrastructure across the region.

It is also pursuing investments in bulk LPG storage and bottling facilities as part of efforts to strengthen its presence in the energy market.

The diversification strategy is expected to reduce the company’s reliance on conventional petroleum transportation revenues while opening up additional opportunities for long-term growth.

KPC is also positioning itself to participate in emerging regional oil and gas trading opportunities as East Africa continues to develop its energy infrastructure.

The company believes these investments will strengthen its financial performance and support its ambition of achieving KSh68 billion in annual revenue by FY2030.

The Kampala investor engagement signals KPC’s intention to deepen its relationship with regional investors and position itself as a major energy infrastructure player across East Africa.
