At JES Ltd., we pride ourselves on our ability to design, supply, and implement large-scale electrical systems for commercial, industrial, residential, and institutional developments. Our projects span from high-voltage substations and distribution networks to ICT cabling, security systems, and renewable energy installations. We operate under internationally recognized codes and standards including:

  • IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards for electrical installations and testing.
  • IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) guidelines for protection and system design.
  • ISO 9001:2015 for quality management.
  • OSHA (2007, Kenya) and ISO 45001:2018 for health and safety.

By embedding these frameworks into our daily operations, we ensure that every project we deliver is not only technically sound but also safe, sustainable, and future-ready.

Our Legacy and Experience

From our early days wiring private residences in Karen, Runda, and Ngong, to delivering national-scale government projects, our journey has been one of steady growth, innovation, and resilience. Today, our portfolio includes complex installations such as:

  • Transformer testing and inspections at Two Rivers Mall and Garden City Mall.
  • Substation earthing reinstatement and lighting protection for large commercial clients.
  • 1MW+ solar PV and hybrid power systems at farms, resorts, and industrial facilities.
  • Critical backup power systems such as KenGen’s 40kVA UPS with integrated battery banks.
  • ICT structured cabling and security systems for institutions including the Office of the President, Kirinyaga University, and Weston Hotel.

Our longevity is built on a commitment to continuous improvement, strong technical leadership, and a deep understanding of Kenya’s evolving energy and infrastructure needs.
