Consumers brace for fresh charge on fuel, electricity
Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi addressing participants during the Eastern Africa Regional Green Hydrogen Symposium at the Pullman Hotel in Nairobi on May 14, 2025.
Consumers could soon face a fresh levy on fuel and electricity as the government moves to introduce a special fund to finance energy projects and reduce loans.
Contributions from the energy sector will be one of the sources of money for the Consolidated Energy Fund (CEF). These contributions are likely to be in the form of a new charge on fuel or electricity to be collected from consumers.
