How can one qualify for Kenya Power's Lifetime Tariff?
A Kenya Power client can qualify for the most affordable Domestic Lifetime Tariff by following two simple steps.
- Keep your monthly consumption below 30 units.
- Maintain this for three consecutive months.
When Kenya Power reviews accounts, the clients are automatically switched to the Lifeline tariff without paperwork.
Therefore, when you get a new electricity connection, you start on the Domestic Primary Tariff, regardless of your location or expected usage
According to Kenya Power, electricity cost depends solely on how much power one uses, not where one lives.
Across the nation, customers in the same consumption category pay exactly the same rates.
The bill is calculated using a transparent, standard tariff structure, purely based on your usage.
Masolo Mabonga HOD Current Affairs and Politics updated this article with details on how to qualify for Kenya Power's Lifetime Tariff.
