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.

This will enable households that may not afford the upfront cost of refilling a gas cylinder to buy cooking gas in small quantities. Users make manageable payments through mobile money to unlock the amount of gas they would want to use.
