You may also need to keep an eye on interest expense and borrowings ... plus government control and political interference

[quote=dunkang]First Solar Company, an American conglomerate, Thursday announced plans to set a base in Kenya for expansion of its renewable energy business in East Africa.

The firm with manufacturing bases in USA and Malaysia said it would start the operations through partners later this year. It would also invite equity partners to its projects.

“We intend to produce two Gigawatts through a Photovoltaic (PV) solar- hybrid plant (with traditional liquid fuel generators) to create a reliable source of electricity,’’ First Solar managing director Johan Cilliers said during a media briefing in Nairobi Thursday.

2 Gigawatts = 2,000Megawatts?
What is the current peak demand?

Last i checked, solar-produced energy attracted higher rates than say hydro n geo, with all the projects in the making, will the whole 2Gw be taken up when there will be cheaper options?

Kenya Power seeks users of planned 5,000MW

Kenya Power will focus more in connecting industries as it moves to create demand for 5,000 megawatts planned to be added to the national grid in the next four years.

Speaking at the East African Power Industry Convention held yesterday, Kenya Power acting chief executive Mr Ben Chumo, told regional investors in the sector that the electricity distributor will target to raise annual power connections from the current 300,000.

“We shall increase the total annual connections to 500,000,” Mr Chumo noted.

....

Apart from industries, Kenya Power is also targeting the Special Economic Zones- specialized manufacturing areas that are targeted to be established in various parts of the country to spur industrialization- as potential markets for electricity.

“We are targeting the growth of Special Economic Zones to consume this energy. We look forward to utilizing it beyond schedule,” said Mr Chumo.

This is in addition to the mining industry which the company reckons will attract aggressive activity following recent discoveries of oil and gas deposits that are hoped to generate increased interest in the country’s minerals.
