Kenya's Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) is reviewing its special electricity tariff for electric vehicles, aiming to boost e-mobility adoption. This comes as electric vehicle usage in the country has surged by 300 percent in the past year, indicating growing demand.

• Electricity consumption under the e-mobility tariff increased by 5.04 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the last fiscal year, up from 1.26 GWh previously.
• The authority plans to remove the current monthly consumption cap of 15,000 units, encouraging expansion by large users like EV charging station operators.
• Introduced in 2023, the tariff offered a base rate of Ksh16.00 per kilowatt-hour, with off-peak discounts of up to 50 percent. The move supports Kenya's goal to cut carbon emissions by 32 percent by 2030.
