The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) has removed Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) from a key role that determined the amount and type of electricity dispatched to the national grid.
The regulator said the National Energy Control Centre(NCC), which manages the uptake of energy from the various sources for distribution on the national grid, will now be managed by the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company(Ketraco) to curb conflict of interest and seal loopholes that have been abused by some cartels to force costly power on consumers.
