Homes and factories in Nairobi for the first time since 2013 cut their electricity consumption, signaling reduced economic activity in the capital.
Kenya Power data show electricity consumption in the city in the year to June dropped to 3.83 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) from 3.913 billion in similar period a year earlier, pulled down by large commercial users and domestic consumers.
Nairobi’s consumption of power by city’s commercial and industrial users dropped to 1.44 billion units from 1.6 billion the previous year while that of households dropped to below a billion to 779 million kWh, down from 1.119 billion—reflecting a 12.5 per cent drop. These are cheap lies peddled by corrupt Jubilee government. I can tell you for a fact that more than 20 ugly flats with 60 single rooms each were erected in Mathare North alone leave alone Lucky summer, pipeline, Huruma, Pangani etc within the stated period. All these are connected to electricity. No amount of hekaya za abunuasi can fool me that electricity consumption went down. Jubilee should tell Kenyans kibaga ubaga where Kenya power revenues(monopoly) disappear to The source and uses of KPLC are in their audited financials and acxompanying notes. New completions of construction can be used as a proxy for growth, but not fully. The units may be unoccuppied, users may be using alternatives for energy (eg solar for heating) and industrial firms may have cut back significantly on consumption.

In today's Nation newspaper,kenya power has published new tariffs. Anyone with a copy to post here and what will be the effect in share price Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Anyone with a copy to post here and what will be the effect in share price There are no new tariff. its just a clarification on how domestic customers and small commercial can shift from categories 1 to 2 and vice versa

Lake Turkana Wind Power project (LTWP) will now sell electricity to Kenya Power at a 50 per cent discounted rate, it has emerged. The arrangement, however, comes with a rider that the power distributor’s purchases from the firm’s Marsabit wind farm will have to cross a certain threshold.
This could undercut other power producers as a 50 per cent discount would reduce the per unit cost of electricity to about Sh4.4 from Sh8.8 (7.53 Euro cents).
t is also comparable to the cost of hydroelectricity, currently the cheapest, at about Sh3 and geothermal at Sh7 per unit. Kenya Power will, however, have to purchase close to 1.5 billion units of electricity before it can start to enjoy the 50 per cent discount on the current tariff. According to LTWP, at the current rate of power generation by the plant and purchase trends by Kenya Power, the electricity distributor can cross the threshold in 10 months. “Whenever power purchase reaches 1.46 terawatt hours at any point during the year (about 1.46 billion kilowatt-hours), we will sell electricity to Kenya Power at half the price for the remainder of the year,” said Rizwan Fazal director at LTWP.
“In the interest of that, KPLC should try and reach this threshold as quickly as possible.” At a rate of Sh8.8 per unit, it would mean the wind plant will have earned more than Sh11.2 billion per year before it can start selling power at the discounted tariff. It is not clear whether Kenya Power would pass the benefits to power consumers considering the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with LTWP sets the tariff at Sh8.8 per KWh. There are, however, clauses on the discount once the 1.46 billion KWh threshold is achieved.
The PPA was 'take or pay'so not sure why there is a target for KPLC to reach the 1.46 billion Kwh threshold..they are bound to buy all the power LTWP generates ( unless there has been a renegotiation of PPA) Due to fluctuating wind power i.e one moment is generating 200Mw when windspeed is high and next moment is generating 50Mw when wind speed low KPLC has to maintain a 'spinning reserve i.e contract a diesel generator' to be running their diesel engines to be able to cover the shortfall in a moments notice so as not to destabilize the grid.... now this spinning reserve has a cost! The take or pay (Deemed level of generation) is at 55% load factor, which translates to 1.445 billion units per year. Above these units, KPLC is not obligated to buy from LTWP...The current wind speed is higher than originally thought, so LTWP has shown that they are able to do around 66% load factor...thus any units above 1.445 billion threshold is not take or pay Any idea why they have priced the additional units at half-price? Its either half price or you flash it down as waste From KNBS December 2019 statistics, KPLC bought only 45.57 Gwh from LTWP down from a high of 146.23 Gwh in June 2019. Looks like the half price rate was never agreed to by KPLC and they are actually flushing the excess generated units from LTWP.... What happens though with excess LTWP generated energy? Do they stop the wind turbines?

Google Abandons Plans to Buy Stake in Africa’s Biggest Wind ParkVestas Wind Systems A/S is shopping for a new buyer for its 12.5% stake in Africa’s largest wind farm after Google dropped plans to purchase it following project delays. The Danish turbine manufacturer blamed the Alphabet Inc. unit’s decision to pull out on “delays relating primarily to the transmission line” for the $679 million Lake Turkana Wind Power project in Kenya. The 310 megawatt farm’s high-voltage link to the grid, scheduled for completion in October 2016, was delayed by two years after contractors were changed. “As Vestas’ strategy doesn’t include being a long-term wind park owner, we’re currently in commercial dialogue with potential buyers of our shares,” spokesman Anders Riis said in an emailed response to questions. LTWP would have been Google’s second renewable energy investment on the continent after the Jasper solar project in South Africa’s Northern Cape in 2013. Alphabet did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The Kenyan wind power park cost 620 million euros ($679 million). The Kenyan government was forced to pay 85.6 million euros in compensation to LTWP for the delays.

New tariffs, gazetted by the industry’s regulator on Friday sees commercial and industrial consumers metered by Kenya Power at 220,000 volts per post-paid billing period pay Ksh.7.99 for every unit consumed. Consumers will further account for a lesser Ksh.3.99 for each unit of power consumed outside peak hours with the demand charge per kilovolt amperes (kVA) being set at Ksh.200. https://citizentv.co.ke/...f-adjustment-320050/?amp

Similarly a new tariff for Naivasha Special Economic Zone has been developed at Ksh 5 /kWh.....which is a third of the current cheapest tariff for existing manufacturers...In all these, KPLC is eating Unleavened Bread!!!!

Similarly a new tariff for Naivasha Special Economic Zone has been developed at Ksh 5 /kWh.....which is a third of the current cheapest tariff for existing manufacturers...In all these, KPLC is eating Unleavened Bread!!!! "Unleavened Bread"!!  @KaungaNaBeans you're hilarious! Could you expound further, please...
