As part of its mandate, Kenya Power invests financial resources in the extension of the power supply network to ensure continued expansion of customer base and growth of its business. The expanded network supports increased connectivity and increased sales.  


To achieve this objective, the Company intends to pre-invest in network extension to support single phase applicants in a sustainable manner, in addition to clustering customers with a view to lowering connection charges.
The Company will continue to charge Shs.34,980 to connect power supply to applicants whose cost of new single phase connections is up to Shs.135,000 inclusive of VAT, with the balance of Shs.100,020 being the cost of pre-investment by the Company.


Applicants whose cost of new single phase connections is over and above Shs.135,000 will be required to pay the full amount to facilitate connection to the grid. Consequently, those applicants who had already received quotations and paid the Shs.34,980 each for single phase connections, but whose cost of connection is over and above Shs.135,000 will be informed individually of the balance to pay so that work to connect them may commence. Kenya Power will work with this category of customers with a view to clustering them into viable groups that can meet the new connection costs.


Applicants for three phase power supply will also be expected to meet the full cost of connectivity.


Our customer service and customer relations staff at all our offices/branches will be available to provide further information/guidance regarding new applications for power supply connection where necessary.
