Parliament has been urged to protect electricity consumers from high costs.
Electricity Consumers Society of Kenya (Elcos) Executive Director, Isaac Ndereva, cited lack of transparency and consumer involvement on contracted capacity on diesel plants as reasons for the high cost of power.
Ndereva told the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Energy that new diesel plants signed on the full capacity only run at about five per cent, yet, the contracted capacity should have been 25 per cent.
Ndereva said the diesel plants include, Iberafrica, Kipevu 2, Rabai Power, Thika Power, Gulf Power, Triumh Power, Kipevu 1, Kipevu 2 and Muhoroni Gt.
