Last year in April, the Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) directed UMEME Uganda’s power distributors to stop what it called ‘unauthorized YAKA unit deductions’ from customers. Which came days after a series of complaints from the customers on how the company(UMEME) was unexpectedly deducting YAKA(prepaid) amounts.

This year of 2022, The Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) reviewed and approved new electricity tariffs for the year in accordance with the principles of tariff calculation and the terms of supply of the licensees in the Electricity Supply Industry.

Here’s what to note on the new Umeme Yaka prices;

Firstly, a new qualification criteria for the lifeline tariff such that only domestic customers whose consumption does not exceed 100 units per month based on six months running average shall qualify to purchase the first 15 units charged at a lifeline tariff of UGX 250 per kWh. The qualification criteria for lifeline will be reviewed from time to time by the Authority.

Other charges such as fixed monthly charges, maximum demand charges, inspection fees, new connection charges, reconnection fees, and penalties for power theft remain unchanged.
