Explainer on the Net-metering electricity - Business Daily

Fines have been introduced for homes and businesses that illegally dump excess electricity from their solar plants into the national grid, following a law gazetted on September 18, 2026. The fines aim to deter prosumers from infiltrating Kenya’s constrained and vulnerable electricity distribution network. The measure is part of efforts to improve the security and stability of the Kenyan power system by controlling unauthorized injections. The law targets the protection of the grid from disruptions caused by unregulated solar energy contributions.
