For dividend that was mentioned during the AGM.
For Olkaria V with the remaining time there is no chance of it coming on board before sunday night.


Synchronization of Olkaria V to the grid is ongoing. Then the Commercial Tests. Testing and commissioning is an ongoing process. By July 1st, as commissioning continue, dispatch to the grid will continue


(Bloomberg)-----Olkaria V plant expands Kenya Electricity Generating Co.’s geothermal power -producing capacity by one-third to 680 megawatts,Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Miano says by email.
• Company’s total capacity climbs to 1,789 megawatts
• Tests at new plant ongoing before potential connection to grid next month.
• NOTE:Kengen plans to build additional 720 megawatts of generating capacity in five years
Have they got a PPA with KPLC for the 720MW? There’s less demand than current supply for existing production!

Kenya power stopped PPAs.This was to reduce much expenses as they were many ppas which were unneccesary.

720MW is pure porojo that corporate executives feed their shareholders. They have extensive steam reservoir of this capacity but They will not be doing power plant in the forseable future ,not even six years. Even Olkaria 1 unit 6 (80MW) that is being done next to the existing Olkaria 1 is proving a hard sell. There will be no new projects in the near future. Olkaria V (153MW) this year and Olkaria 1 Unit 6 (80MW) in 2020 will be the only projects in the forseable future... unless otherwise

True
Unless there is a significant growth in demand
Olkaria 1 unit 6 is set for completion in 2021

The kind of news that shareholders like to hear, not water bottling and solar panel manufacture.

Kengen is not mumias I am sure the water bottling plant will generate some profit. They will save money buying staff drinking water and at the same time sell also.

Logistic cost of ferying drinking water to Turkwell, Masinga, Kipevu, Olkaria for some ~3000 employees are too great to make this profitable.

As @KaunganaDoDo says, all this is porojo that corporate executives feed. KenGen also signed to sell 30 MW to Rwanda some years back when Kagame was around but KETRACO hasn't yet even finished the Olkaria-lesos transmission line to Kisumu. Before the whole region is interlinked with power all this selling power to South Sudan is porojo.

More Porojoooo....KenGen has contracted all of its installed Generation Capacity to KPLC...it doesn't have any spare to sell to other Party without Breaking POwer Purchase Agreements with KPLC. Even the oncoming Olkaria V and Olkaria 1 Unit VI is all contracted.

The only entity that can sell power to SSudan in KPLC, since its the owner of the excess contracted Capacity. Just like Kenya Buys power from Uganda...Kplc doesn't buy it from The Generator..UEGCL, it buys from UETCL...Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited.
