Relief as Kenyans will now enjoy cheaper electricity following price reductions for the month of April.
Kenya Power said in a statement on Monday that the decline was caused by the strengthening of the Kenya Shilling and lower fuel prices for electricity production.
“We are happy to note that the reduction has given reprieve to our customers and we are optimistic that the prevailing macro-economic environment and the improved hydrology, which enables us to dispatch less thermal power, will sustain the benefit to our customers,” said Kenya Power’s Managing Director & CEO, Dr. (Eng.) Joseph Siro
