The purchase of electricity from the national grid in the nine months to September 2023 grew at the slowest pace in more than three years on the back of price increases and a slowdown in Kenya’s manufacturing activity, official data shows.
Kenya Power, the near-monopoly power distributor, sold nearly 7.8 billion kilowatt-hours (units) of electricity in the January-September period, a 3.93 percent growth from the 7.5 billion in a similar period last year.
