Kenyans will face significantly higher electricity bills in September 2025, as the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced an increase of Ksh4.42 per kWh. This adjustment is due to rising fuel energy costs, foreign exchange fluctuations, and a Water Resource Management Authority (WRMA) levy.

• The total increase amounts to Ksh4.42 per kWh, combining a 360 Kenya cents per kWh increase for fuel energy costs, an 80.67 cents per kWh adjustment for foreign exchange fluctuation, and a 1.34 cents per kWh WRMA levy.
• This means a household using 30kWh per month will pay an additional Ksh132.6, and prepaid customers buying Ksh500 worth of tokens will receive approximately 4.5 units (or nearly 18 percent) less electricity.
• The main organizations involved are the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) and the Water Resource Management Authority (WRMA), with Kenya Power tokens also directly affected.
