Once this limit is reached, they are charged power under the normal tariffs. The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) now says that the government will remove the 15,000kWh tariff following lobbying by EV firms surpassing the threshold due to increased demand for EV charging. According to Epra Director-General Daniel Kiptoo, the limit was set to protect Kenya Power from further revenue losses due to the cheaper tariffs. “We need to have a conversation with the utility (Kenya Power) and the stakeholders so that we can make a decision on increasing the limit from 15,000 units per month to a higher threshold,” said the Epra boss. It is also more than the cumulative number of EVs that had been previously registered in Kenya, bringing the total number of EVs registered in the country to 3,753.

Thungela Resources, South Africa’s largest export coal producer, said it won’t make emissions reduction commitments that it can’t keep. This is specifically in relation to so-called "Scope 3" greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – defined as those indirect emissions generated by customers making use of Thungela’s coal. "What we would like to avoid doing is committing to society targets for the sake of committing targets that we will not be able to meet," Thungela CEO July Ndlovu said in response to questions at the group’s Annual General Meeting on Tuesday. "And that's why we are being very deliberate and rigorous in terms of our thought process, both in terms of timing and quantum of what we can impact."

Beverage Digest says that, in a direct head-to-head comparison, Dr Pepper barely edged out Pepsi as the second most popular soft drink in America during 2023. Keurig Dr PepperWhile Coca-Cola (19.2% of the market) still reigns supreme as the top choice of soda drinkers in America, Pepsi’s longtime status as the second most purchased brand is no more.
