Kenya Power's revenue growth slowed by tariff regime
Kenya Power reported a profit of Sh24.99 billion for the year ending June 2026, but its revenue growth did not match the increase in electricity sales, Standard Media reports. The utility attributes this discrepancy to the current tariff regime, which has limited its ability to capitalize on higher sales volumes. This situation underscores the challenges faced by energy companies operating under regulated pricing structures.
Impact Kenya Power's revenue growth is constrained, affecting its financial performance and investment capacity.
