mwanahisa wrote:@Cde, in the short term, in my views this is negative for KGN. It means their supply pipeline is not keeping up with the (suppressed) demand. mwanahisa, Kengen can only supply as much to the national grid. It has many projects in the pipeline as has been detailed before in Wazua. As you say, it is no longer a monopoly and there are many suppliers ready to fill the gap, if any. But with Kenya economy still growing, as Cde Monomotapa says, it will currently sell everything that it produces. How is that negative? Cde, have I "got it?"  GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

The saddest thing is that the first target of rationing will be our Industrial Area, one of the few if not the only place where we have value addition to raw material and Vision 2030 is here telling us how we should stop exporting raw harvest/material. Very sad.
BBI will solve it :)

Probably the worst news since the midnight swearing ceremony. It shows how myopic our planning is. KPLC has a target of connecting 100k new customers annually through rural electrification program etc. Where did they think the new loads added to the grid will draw power form? Does it make sense to connect some peasants in Ndunduri when we disconnect Bamburi who are producing cement for export? Vision 2030 is just wishful thinking like "tap-water-for-all-by-the-year-2000" "..I am because we are. "― Ubuntu, Umtu,

Very sad. C'mon man. These plants run overnight. The rationing is only 3hrs. Just reorganize the shifts or get a generator.

Hey pple. The following is a quotation from BD on article about MSC. "In the FY ended June, Dr Kidero said, the sugar mill had earned an excess of 1B, contributed EQUALLY from the sale of ELECTRICITY & CARBON CREDITS. Even though the financial results are yet to be published, the anticipated revenue could be significantly lifted by the earnings FROM THE TWO STREAMS above the 359M earned from Kenya Power last year" Tafakari (KGN)

@cde. It might not hurt kengen's earnings, or even kenya power. Thats true. But it sucks!! No one would rather live in darkness. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

IMHO, denying electricity for 3 hours to a 24 hr running industrial plant is something. The KAM members were out yesterday and they clearly indicated it will affect their productivity. They may even be forced to cut on employment levels

So the last time we experienced power rationing was back in 2000... that means 10yrs + down the line we learnt little or nothing & therefore we're doing it all over again!!! Karibu Kenya hakuna matata... We Will Either Find a Way or Create One - HANNIBAL

Very sad. C'mon man. These plants run overnight. The rationing is only 3hrs. Just reorganize the shifts or get a generator. Are you serious??? These plants run overnight because there's demand for what they're producing and I'm sure they all have generators. I think it's a shame that in this day and age and advancement in technology you cannot rely on KPLC to a point where if you are doing a wedding or an event a back-up generator must be provided for in the budget. But this guys have guts! How do you put an ad in the papers today knowing what the headline would be saying "Tunawahudumia"???
BBI will solve it :)
