KenyaPower relying on contractors for extra MWs for the grid. Contractors use fuel (petrol) to generate the power. No brainer.

The Independent power producers use heavy fuel not petrol

Kenyans continue getting squeezed from all sides. What’s the logic behind continued use of expensive IPP’s while Kengen is already producing a surplus? It’s a rip off.

13

What, they do that? Jeez that would be flouting the rules, they are supposed to buy power on a least cost basis, uko na article?

It was in the Business Daily a few months ago.

People must make money. How do you think the shareholders of the IPPs will eat?

Breach of contract. We’ve signed long term (20yrs+) contracts with IPPs. Halafu ujue HEP isn’t everywhere. Far-off places like Msa, Mandera, Lamu, etc rely on diesel generators. It’s only now that we’re building a line from Ol Karia to Msa, for instance.

The contract payments are in two parts, capacity charges and actual electricity purchases. Since these IPPs generate electricity from fossil fuels their power is more expensive and KPLC doesn’t have to buy electricity from them if there is a cheaper option e.g a dam that they can buy from. Thats why I’m shocked when someone says we are still buying from IPPs when Kengen has a surplus.
