TotalEnergies Kenya is eyeing low-income households to grow its cooking gas market share with a new 'pay-as-you-cook' product. The firm has partnered with M-Gas, which will provide pay-as-you-cook smart metres installed on TotalEnergies' LPG cylinders, while TotalEnergies will provide the cooking gas.
