The board is crucial on power matters as it is responsible for approving electricity tariffs.
In addition, it develops and implements regulatory policies on energy generation and distribution.
The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) and Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) are each likely to get one slot in the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority’s (Epra) board.
Sources in the National Assembly committee on Energy told the Nation that the lawmakers are considering amending the Energy Act to give the two bodies a slot each in the board as a way of reducing conflict of interest among those dealing with independent power producers (IPPs).
