From April 2010 to April 2014 the unit price of electricity per kilowatt hour in St Helena increased by 2.5p, 1.75p, 1.9p and 0.8p in each respective financial year: increasing the unit price for median consumption rates over this period from 15p to 22p per kilowatt hour.

Future energy prices on St Helena will be decided by the island’s private utility company and regulator.
