Kenya Power has received Sh673 million from State-owned energy firms as compensation for lost revenue from last year’s electricity tariff discount, helping lower the negative impact of the subsidy on its books.

The utility’s chief financial officer Stephen Vikiru said that Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) and Geothermal Development Company Limited (GDC) have paid Sh500 million and Sh173 million respectively.
