Relief for Kenyan households as January power prices drop 23.4pc
Hydro is the cheapest source of power in Kenya, with the average hydro tariff going for $0.0533/unit followed by wind which has an average tariff of $0.0894 per unit.
Local households are enjoying relief after electricity prices declined 23.4 percent in January compared to a corresponding month last year, on the back of strengthened local currency and lowered fuel prices.
New data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that consumers on average paid Sh5,705.92 for 200 kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity in January, marking a dip from the average of Sh7,447 incurred in January last year.
