Electricity consumers will for the second month get a refund following a review of foreign exchange levy on power bills, offering a slight reprieve to homes that endured the rise in tariffs of up to 52.8 per cent in August.
The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) said homes and business are due for a refund of Sh0.0768 per kilowatt hour (kWh) after it used a higher dollar rate to compute the foreign exchange levy last month. Last month, homes and businesses got a refund of Sh0.013 kWh. The refunds will help curb a rise in electricity bills.
