Muhoroni Gas Turbine supplies the costliest electricity to the national grid at Sh56.73 for every unit, according to an official report that lifts the lid on the expensive power deals that have been passed to consumers in the form of high bills.

A detailed analysis by the Business Daily of official data tabled in Parliament last week shows that Muhoroni Turbine’s price is more than double that of the second-most expensive generator, Iberafrica Power, which sells a unit to Kenya Power for Sh28.24. Rabai Power comes third at Sh24.04 a unit.
