Kenya Power logs Sh382 million from EV charging tariff as it migrates customers to dedicated pricing structure
By Eve
Kenya Power is moving electric vehicle owners onto a dedicated tariff approved by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority in 2023, which offers lower rates than standard commercial supply during designated periods. The utility recorded Sh382 million in revenue from the e-mobility segment between July 2023 and April 2026, with internal projections estimating annual charging-related revenue could reach Sh5.9 billion by the end of the decade if vehicle uptake continues on its current trajectory. The tariff separation allows Kenya Power to track charging behaviour, demand concentration and inform network investment planning.
Why it matters: The dedicated tariff and revenue tracking give charge point operators and grid planners visibility into Kenya's emerging EV charging market, while lower off-peak rates may influence site economics and customer demand patterns. Projected revenue growth to Sh5.9 billion signals the scale of grid investment and commercial opportunity the utility expects in the coming years.
