Middle class to pay Sh2.7bn more per month for power 

Kenya's middle-class households and small commercial power consumers will from next week spend at least Sh2.7 billion more on power every month, after taking the biggest hit from the new electricity tariffs that also scrapped subsidies.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) on Friday approved new tariffs to protect Kenya Power from financial distress, hitting the middle class, who consume between 31 units and above with the steepest jump in prices alongside small commercial consumers.
