The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has explained why electricity bills increase significantly for Kenyan consumers using over 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) monthly and offered strategies for cost reduction.

• Domestic customers consuming more than 100 kWh per month fall into the DC3 category, attracting a higher base tariff of Ksh18.57 per kWh, plus additional pass-through costs and taxes.
• EPRA, through its Director General Daniel Kiptoo Bargoria, highlighted the Time-of-Use (ToU) tariff program, allowing 50% savings during off-peak hours, which saved users Ksh971 million between July and December 2025.
• Regional consumption patterns influence bills, with Nairobi accounting for 44.24% of total electricity usage, while South Nyanza saw the fastest growth at 22.53%.
