Kenyan consumers and businesses will continue to pay current electricity rates after the government withdrew a retail electricity tariff review application submitted by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC).

• The withdrawal aims to protect consumers and businesses from higher energy costs and support economic growth.
• Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi announced the decision following government consultations and stakeholder engagements.
• The current electricity tariff structure remains in place unless a new review follows the legal procedures outlined in the Energy Act, 2019.
