Total Kenya has installed two bulk Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage tanks at a total cost of Sh86 million dollars. The tanks which doubled the storage capacity from 150 tonnes to 300 tonnes are expected to improve availability of filled LPG cylinders and bulk LPG to consumers.

This follows cries by gas marketers of increased illegal refilling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas. They had called on the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to hasten its efforts in curbing the business. The firm complained of having lost close to 4,000 cylinders through 50 attacks at various retail stations and during transportation.

Illegal filling is said to have attributed to most of the explosions caused by cooking gas.ERC has been on a crackdown to curb rising illegal depots especially in the Industrial Area in Nairobi.
