The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has announced new regulations for all electrical workers in Kenya.
According to the new regulations found in the Draft Energy (Electricity Supply and Installation Work) Regulations, 2024, the focus is on licensing, qualifications, and professional development.
EPRA states that anyone who wants to build, repair, or maintain electrical systems must have a license from the Authority.
If someone does not have a license, they may only perform such work under the supervision of a licensed professional. "A person shall not construct, operate, maintain, inspect or repair electric installations as an electrical worker unless licensed by the Authority: Provided that the person may carry out such works under the supervision of a licensee under these Regulations," the document reads.
