Biggest problem sio Monopoly shida ni educated bonobos who are made incharge of things. For example tangu water supply iwe privatised kumekuwa even worse.
1.Kenya is lucky coz of its many streams and rivers. These provide opportunities for creation of more power producers.
2. Kenya has many sun-hours per day thus providing untapped potential for solar energy
3. Wind power is under-utilized t
4. It is risky to have all eggs in one basket. So there is need to allow more players in the field. Better have an oligopoly, if not a free market.
5. The brokers and corrupt people are dragging Kenya behind. The cost of power/electricity needs to come down to encourage growth
6. It is good that we are headed for more power producers using wind power. However it is important to give incentives to persons who venture into solar energy production.
Niko na powerbank but wont shower till zikuje.Am dripping wet from a morning jog.Huku we are doing a 15 degrees,there is no way that water is getting into contact with my skin.
Would need to think of solar as a long term solution.Ile part ya kuchange batteries after some years ndio haijawai nibamba,there has to be another way.
Na wanakuanga very proud in their responses when one complains.There is a day someone told them on twitter thatnone day their monopoly will end Kenyans will be saved from the torture of being under the control of Kenya power.Can you believe the person handling the twitter account for Kenya power had the nerve of responding by saying ‘Actually we dont have the monopoly of power in Kenya,Solar has the monopoly of power in Kenyan households.Am not sure if they have a customer care department’.
Relax kijana, KPLC are much more reliable that we given them credit for… The only problem is, the org has always been where politicos place their surrogates who need to eat…
I’ll be bluntly honest, you are not asking for too much. It is the right thing to ask. There is simply no excuse for this nonsense to go on unquestioned, for nonsense it is. How can a power company always have some problem whenever it rains? All these years they have existed, there has never been any technology on earth to solve perennial KPLC issues during rains? People are simply not serious.
True, corruption stifles devt in Kenya. It still would be better if the risks are spread out by having more power companies who contribute into the grid system. What happens if we all rely on one location, and Al Qaeda takes it out? KPLC as you rightly put it had been bedeviled with seasonal thieves!
