Kenyans will pay as much as 16.5 percent more in electricity prices this month after the energy regulator raised fuel and foreign exchange charges on the commodity in what is set to slow down the easing of the cost of living recorded in recent months.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) in its latest monthly power prices review this week raised the energy charge by 8.7 percent to Sh4.33 per unit up from Sh3.98 last month. The higher energy charge signals an increase in output of expensive thermal electricity last month.
