The president has ordered a task force to review power purchase agreements between Kenya Power and Electricity Generators.
Uhuru aims to lower electricity bills; following the previous allegations that Kenya Power was buying electricity from private firms that sold it to them at high cost after purchasing from KenGen at a low cost.
“In this irregular arrangement, the IPPs normally purchase electricity from KenGen at Ksh 0.50 per kilowatt-hour before offloading it to Kenya Power at an inflated rate of Ksh23 per kilowatt-hour,” Aden Duale, Garissa Town MP reported to the National Assembly
All the existing Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) signed with independent power producers and Kenya Power was reviewed by a team set up by the Ministry of Energy.
Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter had also formed a Standing Committee on Review and Renegotiation of PPAs urging them to renegotiate with power producers and review any footprint that may have put the government at a disadvantage when engaging with private sector players.
