Households consuming a maximum of 100 units of power will now pay reduced charges of Sh10 per unit after the energy regulator expanded the subsidy threshold to 100 units from 10 units announced in July.

The review, which takes effect Thursday (November 1), will also see small businesses consuming up to 100 kilowatt hours of power also pay a reduced charge per unit Sh10 per unit from Sh15.60.
The amended tariff structure review follows President Uhuru Kenyatta's directive earlier in the month following public outcry.
The present charge for those using less than 10 units is presently Sh12 while those consuming 11-100 are levied Sh15.80.
This excludes pass-through charges such as fuel cost charge, forex and value added tax.
NB:The Commission has however maintained the charge rate for the Domestic Ordinary customers consuming above 100kWh, hence this customer category will not have any change in their current bills.
