Households near transformers will continue to pay Sh15,000 for connection to the national grid under the third phase of a subsidised programme, Kenya Power says.

The utility firm disclosed that the new phase of the project will start in September next year as it targets to add about 150,000 new homes in 45 counties to the national grid.
