Middle-class households have been forced to raise their average monthly electricity consumption budgets by more than Sh3,000 after the government retired a subsidy amid a sharp slide in the value of the shilling.
The average cost of 200 kilowatt-hours (units) of electricity has climbed by Sh3,073.88 since the subsidy was retired in December 2022, ranking it among the most painful cost headaches in the past two years.
