Rural Electrification Programme Levy Fund (REPLF)

The Rural Electrification Programme Levy Fund (REPLF) was established in 1998 through sections 129 & 130 of the Electric Power Act (1997). The fund aims to finance electrification of rural and other underserved areas. It is used for programmes relating to the design, construction, equipping and operation & maintenance of rural electrification projects identified by communities. The institutional framework of REPLF comprises the Ministry of Energy, the Electricity Regulatory Board (ERB), Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC - the implementing agency), District Development Committees (DDCs), Constituency Development Fund (CDF) committees and local community committees for specific projects.
