[FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit]after the Energy, Petroleum and Regulatory Authority (EPRA) announced new high fuel costs.
While responding to a customer who lamented why he got 39 units after purchasing tokens worth KSh 1,000, the electricity distributor said there were adjustments in the calculation of the bill.
“The regulator has adjusted the fuel cost and inflation components of the bill, hence the increase in the token prices,” it tweeted.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit]KPLC implemented a 21% hike in electricity costs after EPRA’s move to adjust fuel charges.
In this case, the fuel charge increased to KSh 6.80 from KSh 4.63 per unit.
On the other hand, the regulator adjusted the foreign exchange adjustment to KSh 1.37 from 73 cents.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit]sampled some comments:
Dr Ben tweeted:
"Guys, si nimeibiwa? (Guys, I have been robbed).
@Biancawamu2 posed:
"President William Ruto should move with speed and address Kenya Power issue. Kenyans are being robbed! As of January 2022, KSh 500 could get 31 units. As it stands, KSh 500 is how many units?
Nahashon Kimemia noted:
“KPLC has increased the price of electricity twice since the Hustler administration took over gov’t. Dear Davis Chirchir, that is unacceptable. After confirmation, you will have to deal with the cartels that benefit from it. President Ruto will not succeed if IPPs continue strangling KPLC.”
Kugan said:
“If you buy tokens worth KSh 100, KSh 39 goes to tokens. The rest are taxes and levies. No wonder companies are closing shop and moving out.”[/FONT][/FONT]
