Negotiations have begun around a deal to review power purchase agreements (PPAs) signed over the years by Kenya Power in the push to further cut electricity bills for homes and business by 15 percent in three months to June.

The Ministry of Energy on Tuesday said it had opted for talks over forcing the independent power producers (IPPs) to lower tariffs in the wake of opposition from the foreign firms in the planned review.
