Companies that will operate at the Special Economic Zone in Naivasha will pay up to a third of what other power consumers pay for electricity.

The industries that will operate at the SEZ will pay Sh5 per unit of power they consume. This is cheaper than the Sh 15 per unit that  small and medium consumers pay. Even large commercial and industrial consumers are currently charged Sh10.10 per unit.
