Kenya Power's planned e-mobility tariff is expected to help balance electricity consumption patterns, which drop significantly during the night despite the availability of renewable sources such as wind and geothermal.

It also hopes to increase its revenues as uptake of electric vehicles and motorcycles grows.

Other than the availability of renewable and relatively cheaper power, the electricity distributor said the grid is ready to handle the total transition to e-motorcycles and 10 per cent transition to e-vehicles (EVs), with more investments lined up to make it ready for the uptake.
