Kenya has had high electricity prices for quite some time. This has hampered the country’s economic growth and development significantly. However, there is reason to be optimistic because the government has restated plans to reduce the price of this vital commodity. Kenya’s high electricity prices are caused by a number of factors. The country’s reliance on expensive thermal power generation, which accounts for more than 70% of total electricity output, is one of the key factors. Furthermore, the energy infrastructure in the country is inadequate, resulting in significant transmission and distribution losses.
According to the source, Kenyans have a chance to smile as Kenya Power cuts the cost of electricity in the country. As per the latest updates reaching us this morning, it has been revealed that some Kenyans are getting more units compared to a few months ago. Further, Kenyans are getting 37.61 units after paying one thousand shillings. Also, it has been confirmed that most Kenyans are getting 3.76 units after paying Ksh 100 to Kenya Power. It has been revealed that Kenyans are now getting more units compared to a few months ago after paying the same amount of money.
These are good news for all Kenyans, especially those who are using electricity in the country, because it has emerged that Kenya Power has reduced the cost of tokens. This just came in after Kenyans have been struggling to pay for the cost of electricity in the country. Also, the government, which is also led by President William Ruto, confirmed that it will work with all stakeholders to make sure that electricity is affordable in the country.
