The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced a foreign exchange fluctuation adjustment that will affect electricity prices for all meter readings taken in March 2025, a move expected to drive up power costs for consumers.
In a notice issued by Director-General Daniel Bargoria, EPRA stated that the adjustment will be an additional 80.70 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) due to currency fluctuations.
According to EPRA, the adjustments are in line with Clause 2 of Part III of the Schedule of Tariffs 2023, which allows electricity prices to be modified based on exchange rate variations. "Pursuant to Clause 2 of Part III of the Schedule of Tariffs 2023, notice is hereby given that all prices for electrical energy specified in Part II of the said Schedule will be liable to a foreign exchange fluctuation adjustment of plus 80.70 cents per kWh for all meter readings taken in March 2025," read part of the notice by Kiptoo.
