Electricity prices for some poor Kenyan households could rise by up to 117 percent should the country’s energy regulator approves a tariff review proposal by Kenya Power aimed at generating more cash for the utility firm.

In October last year, Kenya Power made a tariff review application to the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) for higher energy charge tariffs that will be in place for the next three years.
