Kenya Power (KPLC) can now fine homes and businesses for illegal solar connections.
Here’s what that actually means.
If you have solar at home or at your business, you’re not being fined simply for having solar.
The problem is when your solar system is connected to Kenya Power’s grid and sends excess electricity back into the grid without approval.
Kenya Power says this can interfere with the stability of the electricity network, especially when solar production suddenly rises or falls.
There is a legal way to do it: net metering. You get approval, export your excess electricity to the grid, and receive a credit.
But if you connect without approval, the exported electricity can be treated as “dumping” and attract a surcharge.
Now here’s the interesting part: the new tariff is stated to apply from July 1, 2025, even though it was gazetted in September 2026.
So what happens to people who installed solar before these rules were formally gazetted?
Kenya needs to protect its electricity grid, but it also needs clear and predictable rules for people investing in solar.
I doubt if even most solar owners knew of this rule
