Some 2,452 industrial firms capitalised on discounted tariffs to produce goods during off-peak hours, saving Sh688 million on electricity bills between July and December 2024.

The six-month savings are, however, a 22.7 percent drop from the Sh890 million realised over a similar period in 2023, a new report by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows.
