To drop from the current Kshs 35,000 to Kshs 1,160......wooow!.

Link please!

Here is the <<link>> to Kenya Power signs deal with World Bank to cut electricity connection cost. "Connection charges will drop to Sh1,160 from Sh35,000 in the partnership with the World Bank and African Development Bank."

This is effective when?

Got a quotation last year Nov but did not pay.Can I apply afresh to benefit from the new rates?

Extremely good news.

I dont get the thinking behind it, if the goal is to get more individual on the grid, it would be better to channel the investment into expanding the reach of the grid, i.e increasing the power transformers and extending the power lines.

as it stands, the price restructuring only benefits those who are withing the drop distance for a connection, and yet the same group has the option of the stima loans, the cost of getting connected if one is further away from a transformer still remains prohibitive.
