The suspension is a setback for Kenya Power and other energy-sector agencies.
Kenya has suspended a planned increase in electricity tariffs that was due to take effect on July 1, citing the need to shield households, businesses and industries from higher energy costs amid rising inflation and public discontent over fuel prices.
Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi on Wednesday announced that Kenya Power had withdrawn its application for a tariff review, effectively halting a public participation process that was scheduled to begin on June 15.
