The Kenyan government is launching a new bulk metering initiative to tackle illegal electricity connections and enhance service in informal settlements. Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi announced this approach, which will allow community entities to manage power distribution.

• One central meter will serve entire neighborhoods, improving safety and efficiency.
• The initiative aims to eliminate illegal connections, increase accountability, and streamline billing for the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC).
• Residents will select a representative to manage electricity distribution, ensuring they only pay for actual consumption through sub-meters.
