Kenya has the highest household electricity prices in the East African and Central region, the office that advises members of Parliament on budget planning has said, underscoring the impact of the power purchase agreements and pricing formula that determine the retail charges.
A report by the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) shows that households in Kenya are paying an average of $0.26 (Sh 33.60) per unit of electricity, compared to the $0.006 (Sh0.77) paid by households in Ethiopia, $0.09 (Sh11.63) in Tanzania and $0.17 (Sh21.97) in Uganda for a unit of power.
