“Competition in the electricity distribution market provides alternatives for power supply to consumers especially in far flung areas that have not been accessed by the grid. Kenya power would be very generous to offer rates that would allow the new competitor to supply power to new customers and still make a profit. Leaving the question, will Kenya Power ever get a competitor? Kenya power has had multiple support schemes including the Last Mile Connectivity funded by the World Bank and the Africa Development Bank, pushing its customer reach to almost 7.5 million. Our present focus is on investing in the distribution network to attain quality and reliable power supply,” Mr Ngugi said.
