POWER theft is on the increase again. An average of 36% of electricity is lost every month, up from 32% last year. Masaka, Kamuli and Mbale are particularly bad. Over half of all power distributed to these districts is not being billed. In Masaka, power losses even reach 72%.

Power theft can only be minimised if the cost of electricity per unit is reasonable and affordable.
