Kenyans will face higher electricity bills in June 2026 following new monthly adjustments announced by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). Consumers will pay an extra Ksh3.87 per unit.

• The total additional cost per unit is Ksh3.87, comprising a fuel energy cost charge of Ksh3.14, a forex fluctuation charge of Ksh0.72, and a WRMA levy of Ksh0.0142.
• The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) is responsible for these adjustments.
• These charges are partly due to Ksh779 million in foreign exchange losses absorbed by consumers, with independent power producers accounting for the largest share.
