OLA ENERGY TO INTEGRATE RENEWABLE ENERGY TO REDUCE FUEL CONSUMPTION

By Vera Shawiza

Oil Company, OLA Energy announced its

growth expansion plans that seek the

adoption of renewable energy in a bid

to reduce the consumption of fuel.

OLA Energy Chief Operating Officer

Maurizio Libutti said the transition is

a move towards renewable energy

technologies as the best way to supply

environmentally friendly and affordable

energy to all people.

“Cost-effectiveness comes to the

forefront in the renewable energy

development, by producing strategies

that bring out energy saving

mechanisms. This will reshape how

energy markets will function in the

near future,” said Libutti.

OLA Energy Kenya General Manager

Millicent Onyonyi said the company’s

retail footprint now stands at 109

across the country, and is keen on

fostering African born prosperity

geared at wealth creation through its

partnerships with dealers in the retail

network.

The move is part of OLA Energy’s

strategy to give additional value to

customers that positively impact their

spending on fuel while at the same time

lowering polluting emissions into the

environment.

O’ptimium, is made through addition of

performance additives that help clean

car engines hence controlling deposit

build up in critical points of the

engine including inlet

valves/injectors.

Through this innovation, motorists have

a better experience on roads through

increased fuel economy, reduced

corrosion, prevent filter blockage,

better car acceleration, reduced

emissions and greater engine

durability. O’ptimium fuels have been

developed using cutting edge additives

and technologies that are tested in

accredited laboratories in accordance

with international standards.

“We are also keen at leveraging digital

strategies to enable smooth

transactions with our consumers through

the introduction of OLA GO customer

loyalty APP.” said Onyonyi.

The OLA GO App comes after the

introduction of secure and real-time

O’Card used to fuel a vehicle or fleet

and purchase of other products

conveniently, with customized spending

limits and recording of ‘input mileage’

that helps in control of fuel

consumption.

With the current robust growth, Onyonyi

added that the service station will

also comprise a family-oriented

versatile backcourt boasting of premium

service centres, food courts, bank

ATMs, chemists and laundromat, hence

offering the customers unmatched

convenience.

The company launched Kilimani and

Gitaru (Kikuyu) branches. The expansion

network brings proximity to the

customers in a strategic location

adjacent to Yaya Centre and Kikuyu

respectively, fitted with high-speed

pumps for the ultimate fueling

experience together with automotive

lubricants and LPG.

The launch saw customers enjoy ‘happy

hour’ with OLA Energy rewarding them

with bonus fuel worth Ksh. 1,000 for

every purchase of fuel worth Ksh.2,000

at the new Kilimani and Gitaru service

stations.
