Kenya Power is moving to formally integrate and regulate electric vehicle (EV) charging customers under its billing and service framework as revenue from e-mobility tariffs continues to rise.
The utility says the rapid uptake of electric mobility has created a new revenue stream, pushing the need for structured customer registration, standardized tariffs, and tighter oversight of charging infrastructure across the country.
EV Charging Customers to Be Formalized Amid Rising Revenues.
Under the plan, all EV charging stations will be required to be licensed and connected to the national grid under approved tariff categories. The goal is to improve billing transparency, strengthen compliance, and support planning for future electricity demand driven by e-mobility.
Kenya Power says the expansion of charging infrastructure—both public and private—has made regulation necessary to ensure orderly growth of the sector and alignment with existing energy laws.
The initiative also supports Kenya’s broader clean energy transition agenda, which promotes low-emission transport systems. The utility is expected to issue detailed guidelines for EV customers as adoption of electric mobility continues to grow.
