The Senate has proposed that power plants supplying electricity to Kenya Power switch to using liquefied natural gas (LNG) instead of oil to generate electricity by 2026, in the latest bid to tame runaway power bills.
A report tabled before the Senate and which is set to be adopted by the House shows that thermal plants have between 18 to 36 months to drop the use of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), in a move aimed at cutting the Fuel Cost Charge (FCC).
