Meanwhile, Kenya Power has announced a phased plan to shut down all remaining payment counters across its banking halls by June 2027.
In a statement on Monday, June 8, the company said the move comes amid growing adoption of online platforms, revealing that digital channels currently handle more than five million customer interactions each month.
According to Kenya Power, under the transition plan, payment counter closures will happen in three stages.
The first phase will see offices in Nyeri, Thika, and Kisii close their counters by June 2026.
The second phase targets Nakuru, Kisumu Electricity House, and Eldoret by December 31, 2026, before the final phase concludes with Nairobi Electricity House, Stima Plaza, and Mombasa Electricity House shutting their counters by June 30, 2027.
As the changes take effect, employees previously stationed at payment counters will be reassigned to customer support and digital literacy roles under the company's Twende Digital initiative.
Kenya Power also plans to roll out an internal customer experience training programme that will target more than 1,500 frontline employees nationwide.
