Total Kenya Power dividend per share by year paid

Kenya Power resumed dividends after years without a payout and now pays twice a year. Its next dividend is KSh 1.20 per share: the stock goes ex-dividend on 30 November 2026 (register closes 27 November) and payment is due on 31 December 2026. Years are grouped by when the money was paid, not by the financial year the dividend relates to, so a year with two payments is not necessarily a bigger year for profits.

How to qualify for Kenya Power dividends

1. Own the shares before the ex-dividend date. If you buy on or after that date, the seller gets the dividend. Track upcoming dates in our NSE dividend calendar.
2. Hold them in your own CDS account through a licensed stockbroker; see how to buy shares on the NSE. Keep your bank or M-Pesa details up to date with the share registrar so payments are not returned.
3. Claim anything missing. Unpaid dividends are eventually transferred to the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority; see how to check and claim unclaimed dividends.
