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.
All it takes for Kengen to sell power directly to SS is amendment of one or two sections of the Energy Act.
How? Like What? KenGen is not in the Energy Act, its just another Commercial Company like anyone else.
Energy is broadly devided into:
1. Electricity - Generators; Transmitters; Distributors; Regulator and dispute resolution.
2. Petroleum Upstream; Downstream; Regulator and dispute resolution;
All these are set up by Acts of Parliament. Not sure but I think the Act consolidated the Electricty and Petroleum regulators into one.
Yap. But Transmission and Distribution Licence doesn't need changes to Energy Act...They are given by ERC...now called EPRA(under new energy Act)... what would be required for them to Transmit/Distribute would be A license and a Review of the Current PPAs....or to Build/Develop a new plant...or a wellhead...Wellheads are the cheaper option... You just go to some of the existing Wellls and you put up a small kaplant called Wellhead...no need to build a power plant.
Part 6 of Energy Act 2019, the following electrical activities need to be licensed;
1. generation;
2. exportation;
3. importation;
4. transmission;
5. distribution;
6. retail supply.
Tariffs set for each of the above activities where one player uses infrastructure of another.
In case of evacuation of power from generation plants to SS, Kenya Power which does mainly does Substation - Customer distribution may not be involved. Power might be evacuated directly by Ketracco from Olkaria then SS to pay for as metered at point of import into SS.
Life is short. Live passionately.
