Electricity producers risk a Sh100,000 fine per month if they fail to submit a 52-week plan on scheduled switch-off of their plants in advance, in a move aimed at minimising supply disruptions to consumers.
The schedule for the switch-offs of each plant linked to the national grid will be submitted to the electricity sector regulator by the end of a calendar year or not more than four months after end of a financial year for the power producer and is part of the Draft Energy (Electricity Reliability, Quality of Supply and Service) Regulations, 2025, that recently went through public participation.
