The base charges for electricity in the current financial year have dropped by up to Sh1.50 per unit in line with a new tariff schedule, raising hope of lower consumer prices.
The charge, commonly known as the base tariff, comprises the cost of generation, transmission, and distribution that utilities like Kenya Power, Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), Kenya Electricity Transmission Company, Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation, Geothermal Development Company and Independent Power Producers (IPPs) incur in the provision of the services.
