Which are these plants?
Do the plants include the Iberafrica and Watsila?
What is the fate of the our bros and sizs employed in those companies?

I dont care about the workers fate.However what will happen to the Thika Power Company which is along Thika Road, there is another power plant which is under construction just past Athi River??????????


Are these all Diesel powered generators?

This is not an interesting article Mawinder,Its a shallow article!!!!

If we have excess power,which i do not think,we can always export it to South Sudan,TZ,Uganda(yes,even they they export power to us,they always have daily blackouts)

Power consumption is going to increase, many rural places are now on the grid.

Makau assumes that the current power consumption will remain static.

I have posted here before, energy costs in the next 5yrs will come down significantly. Part of Jubilee plan to reduce cost of goods production. We may be a net energy exporter by 2019..

This song has been sung for donkey's years. When will ever come true - ama its one of those Jubiree promises that never come true. Nkt

Only last year KShs 1,000 would get be 84 units of power on the prepaid thingy. Now the same 1K gets me 39.2 units

HII KITUI ITAFANYIKA LINI? I really am pissed off my this 'next month' crap.

PS: Jubiree will earn major points from me if they deliver this

in the same boat...i always read that cost of power is going to come down.but not seen any evidence this far.Every month the units i get for prepaid become less while amount spent increases....

They should no longer put it in newspapers...wacha wareduce then we take note by less amounts being paid...

Go to South Sudan and get eployed. Cheap power any time. Rest ni maongeo

Surprising how expensive products can be in countries with abundance of raw materials for said products.....tragedy of Africa....

“We added today at 9 am an additional 70 megawatts from Olkaria. This will displace diesel power plants and the fuel cost component in electricity bills will come down,” Mr Mugo said


Now way can Man,Wartsila and the others be displaced.

Their scope of work is huge and covers other areas and companies,plus they will still be relied upon to provide machinery/spareparts to run these facilities.
