Kenya Power drops plan for private firms to sell electricity in slums
A Kenya Power worker disconnects electricity lines in the Mukuru Kwa Reuben slum in Nairobi on May 6, 2024, after the government ordered evictions on riparian land.
Kenya Power has dropped plans to tap private firms to connect customers in the informal settlements and collect bills, following advice from the State House and the parent ministry.
The utility has now delegated the task to the State-owned Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (Rerec), with Kenya Power mandated to step up efforts in the segment of its customers that largely drives its electricity sales.
