Kenya Power new connections charge lowered to Sh15,000

New connections to the Kenya Power grid will now cost Sh15,000 — down from the Sh35,000 charged until last year — and will be payable in installments through their bills.

President Uhuru Kenyatta announced the new connection fee Wednesday during a ceremony to launch the utility firm’s Sh34 billion ‘Last Mile’ project, which seeks to connect more than 300,000 new customers, as well as the National Schools Electrification Project.
