Stop Paying Hidden Surcharges on Your KPLC Bill

Calculate your exact Power Factor surcharge, see how much you can save, and get matched with curated suppliers for correction equipment.

The Hidden Cost Most Businesses Miss

KPLC charges a Power Factor surcharge when your PF drops below 0.90. The penalty is 2% of your entire energy and demand bill for every complete 1% below the threshold.

Stay Ahead of PF Surcharges & TOU Activation

Sign up for free portal access. We'll pull your KPLC bill every month and alert you before penalties hit.

Free Portal Access: What You Get

  • -Monthly bill collection - We fetch your KPLC bill automatically so you don't have to.
  • -PF penalty early warning - If your Power Factor is drifting toward the 0.90 threshold, you'll know before the surcharge appears on your bill.
  • -TOU activation alerts - If your consumption pattern is approaching the threshold where Time-of-Use rates would apply, we'll flag it early.
  • -One-month grace period - KPLC gives you a full month after your PF drops below 0.90 before applying the surcharge. If you catch it fast enough, you can rectify the problem without ever incurring the charge.
Already have a PF correction bank? If you drop below 0.90 and you already have a system installed, it may just be a burnt contactor or a failed capacitor, a simple and cheap fix. Most businesses don't monitor their PF, so they keep paying the surcharge for months without realising there is nothing fundamentally wrong.

Why Solar Makes Sense for Kenyan Businesses

Lock In Your Energy Cost

Solar panels produce electricity at a fixed cost for 25+ years while KPLC tariffs keep rising.

High Solar Irradiance

Nairobi averages 2,200 sun hours per year. Among the best in the world for solar generation.

Reduce Demand Charges

Solar generation during peak hours reduces your maximum demand (kVA), directly lowering demand charges.

Net Metering Ready

KPLC allows net metering for systems up to 1 MW. Excess solar generation offsets your bill.

Check Your TOU Savings

Time-of-Use billing can save you money if you shift consumption to off-peak hours.
