Kenya Power raises alarm about costly electricity, rationing
The utility firm says the country’s installed capacity currently stands at 3,243 MW, with an effective interconnected capacity of 3,056 MW on the grid.
Kenya Power has raised the alarm about costly electricity and electricity rationing following the freeze on new power purchase agreements (PPAs) that has stopped the construction of new generation plants.
The moratorium, which has been in place for over three years, means Kenya Power cannot enter into new PPAs amid electricity supply scarcity that has forced Kenya to rely on imports from Ethiopia and Uganda.
