Kenya Power’s rural customers connected to the national grid under the Last Mile Connectivity Project are spending a paltry Sh7.20 daily on electricity, delaying the economic benefits from the billions of shillings spent on connections.
The average monthly electricity consumption of rural households is 11.44 kilowatt-hours (kWh), which is currently valued at Sh217 per month or Sh7.20 per day, according to Kenya Power disclosures.
