The strength of the Kenyan shilling for the most part of the year significantly reduced Kenya Power (KPLC) finance costs, enabling the utility company to record a profit-after-tax of KSh 30.08 billion by June 2024. Kenya Power’s loss-after-tax in the FY 2023 stood at KSh 3.19 billion because of magnanimous finance costs worth KSh 24 billion. The listed utility stated that 90% of their loan facilities are denominated in foreign currencies and the stability of the Kenyan shilling revaluated incurred debt. The shilling’s performance enabled Kenya Power to purchase electricity cheaply and accommodate higher demand. Bryan Nzomo Read More: https://lnkd.in/dKKQqAY3
