Electricity prices have risen in August, driven by tariff changes to two critical pricing components, piling pressure on homes and businesses already grappling with costly goods and services.
An analysis of the prices shows that Sh1,000 is now fetching 38.8 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in August compared with 40.2kWh for the same amount last month, while consumers are getting 19.4kWh for Sh500 compared to 19.5kWh in July.
