Kenyans wait with baited breath as Adani likely to raise power bills

Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi has dismissed concerns surrounding the deal, emphasising its goal of alleviating persistent power blackouts and enhancing national electricity infrastructure.

Consumers and manufacturers will have to wait longer to learn the fate of their electricity bills following the controversial Sh95 billion power transmission deal signed with Adani Energy Solutions Ltd, an Indian company owned by billionaire Gautam Adani.

The deal, announced last week, allows Adani to develop, finance, construct, operate, and maintain critical transmission lines and substations across Kenya.
