Recovering the debts is key to pushing Kenya Power’s revenues as the company continues to increase electricity sales.
Kenya Power’s electricity sales grew to 10,516 Gigawatt-hours in the year ended June 2024, a rise of 2.76 percent compared to 10,233GWh the previous year.
Nairobi County’s unpaid electricity bill more than doubled to Sh3.01 billion between March and November last year, underlining Kenya Power’s struggles to recover money from devolved governments.
Disclosures by the National Treasury show that Nairobi accounted for more than two-thirds of the Sh4.37 billion that the 47 counties owed the utility firm as of end of November 2024.
