kenya power will be a monopoly for the next 20 years and beyond. transmission of electricity is not done over the air like gsm companies do with telecoms. the current crop of mps is just a bunch of ignorant people

You know how KPLC uses a power signal to turn on and off your power heater at home. It does so using the same power lines transmitting lethal amounts of electricity without destroying the fragile power signaling equipment. That concept can be exploited greatly to achieve impressive abilities just by using the very same power line to transmit different amounts of power from different sources without frying of lighting up equipment like a light bulb.

With very high tension power lines the whole approach can be very tricky not like gsm where your dealing "harmless" power signals

KPLC will remain a monopoly for a very very long time. The infrastructure (transformers lines, metre etc) belong to KPLC as we speak today, any company coming in will have to invest dearly if not pay KPLC for the infrastructure hence the change in your bill will not be likely.

This is one I agree with murchr. Kenya power is here for the long haul – until someone ‘invents’ some sort of wireless technology to distribute electric power – the way fixed telecoms were pushed out of market.

Who owns that transmission line? We should be focusing on cutting the westage/inefficiencies at kpc.
The new competitor can get all the unconnected regions and new cities but those already on the grid,PRAY for kpc, in light and in darkness.
