Electricity prices have hit a 30-month high, returning consumers to levels last seen before the country added 280 megawatts of cheaper geothermal power to the national grid.

Official data shows homes that consumed 200 kilowatt hours (kWh) paid Sh3,700 last month compared to the October 2014 peak when power prices hit their peak of Sh3,931 and November cost of Sh3,641.
