Kenya’s payment for electricity imports from Uganda dropped by Sh744 million or more than a third in the first four months of the year on increased local generation.

Kenya bought 101.5 million kilowatt hours (kWh) from Uganda in the nine months to September at Sh2.1 billion, down from 182.19 million kWh worth Sh3.8 billion in a similar period a year earlier — reflecting a 44.7 per cent drop.
