In 2004 Government had projected that peak demand will hit 2000MW by 2015 and therefore started numerous energy generation projects.
In 2015 total installed capacity is 2200MW out of which KENGEN generates 1600MW.
In 2015 Peak demand capacity is at 1500MW;meaning running at full capacity KENGEN can sufficiently meet electricity demand for Kenya.
The 1000MW Lamu Coal power plant I don't know who the client is;it will lead to expensive power.
There is need to slow down the electricity generation projects;

@murchr;
Exported power to Rwanda is short term and a temporary measure.Rwanda is aggressively building gas power plants from methane gas in Lake Kivu.
Electric train is a pipe dream like Konza;you will not see it in your lifetime.
Industrial Parks for who;investors are running away because of bureaucracy,corruption in terms of kickbacks from politicians and ruling elite not capacity to supply the needed power.
Our problem now is not generation capacity but weak distribution.
Our electricity is expensive because of the numerous unnecessary charges on your electricity power bill.
Lamu/Lappset is slowly grinding to a halt;twas an over ambitious project with our weak finance.
Rural electrification the consumption is negligible;mostly for lighting and some of the rural folks are going solar.

Also, hopefully in this lifetime too - as we're told about SDGs, is the EA power pool connect to the SA power pool. Power up the continent.

By the time Rwanda completes its plant, that power will already be taken up by some leather factory. I will not argue about things I may know and you may not know but i will ask you to think about this. WHY IS EVERYONE CONNECTED IN SOME WAY TO GOVERNMENT NOW GETTING INVOLVED IN SOME POWER COMPANY?
