Kenyans are disappointed that the units of electricity have continued to decline amid hikes in power bills.
“It is impossible for the country to be competitive as an investment destination and therefore industrialize in the absence of affordable, reliable, quality, and sustainable electricity for the manufacturing industry,” said the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM).
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has approved a 63% increase per unit cost for customers using between 30-100 units and a 32% increase for customers using more than 100 units.
With the price hike, KES 1,000 will now get you 4 units less despite the token amount increasing by KES 209.
