Independent power producers revealed on Thursday they were yet to receive invitations for talks on cutting wholesale power prices and ultimately lower consumer bills.
The State is yet to open talks for a review of power purchase agreements signed over the years by Kenya Power. This signals further delay of the promised electricity bill cut for homes and businesses by 15 percent.
Electricity Sector Association of Kenya, maintained that talks were yet to start amid opposition from the foreign-backed power producers to lower tariffs.
The Ministry of Energy had opted for negotiations over forcing the IPPs to lower tariffs in the wake of opposition from the firms.
“We are still waiting for the ministry to call us for talks which they have not done to date. None of the big power producers have met them to date,” said George Aluru, the chairman of ESAK.
