Wholesale prices of electricity will be capped at $0.07 (Sh9.04 at current exchange rates) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for new Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that Kenya Power will sign in a move aimed at cushioning consumers from costly electricity.
David Gikaria, the chair of the National Assembly Energy Committee, disclosed that capping of the prices is one of the conditions included in a report that his committee will table in Parliament, setting the stage for lifting of a moratorium that has been in place since 2018.
