0.40 / 5.50 = 7.3% which is a decent DY.

Doesn't KenGen have huge loans?
The huge loans also got it into trouble a few years ago.

Well, then what level/amount of loans does KenGen have currently?

I understand you from this angle.Kengen wanted to take a loan for Olkaria V and at that time,their debt to equity ratio couldn't allow.
This is where ARM went wrong,debt to equity ratio wasn't defined and adhered to.

Kengen is assured of market for installed capacity and power produced at pre-determined tariff. ARM wasn't assured of market share or price.

But KenGen will be fine since "Kengen is assured of market for installed capacity and power produced at pre-determined tariff." Laughing out loudly

Without solvent captive buyers - in this case KPLC and a PPA - in the bag, the risk of a project is higher.
This is true for most projects whether the buyers are wholesale or retail.

KPLC has millions of captive buyers of its power but they are limited in what quantity they need to buy and at what price they will pay. Electricity can be substituted for some uses e.g. cooking with LPG instead of electricity.

Or at a high enough price, some e.g. cement producers may set up power plants since they are themselves large CAPTIVE users and a well-designed and right-sized plant should break-even with the cement plant's needs.

Does Centum have a PPA for Akiira? Yes (Investor Briefing)
Is this PPA limited to "Akiira"? Perhaps and if so then it may not be transferable to another area/SPV.

Does KenGen have a PPA for the 140MW project?
https://www.businessdail...twitter_impression=true
If yes, then the project's attractiveness just went up vs one without a PPA.

One risk all those with PPAs with KPLC have to consider is KPLC's continued solvency when politics trumps sensibility.

The bailout (Debt:Equity conversion) similar to KQ helped but the "minority" shareholder ends up with an increasingly smaller stake in the firm.

Anyway, good luck!
May you prosper in KenGen.

The government shareholding is still 70%.
ARM is at the graveyard because of theft/stealing and mismanagement by the son Paunrana.
The equipment at Kaloleni plant was outdated and was in dire need of an upgrade.
ARM also had a market which they had difficulties satisfying leading to demise.

Though I dont know if dividend decision will be made now since the AGM date and agenda decision will not be determined until the AG signs, according to the CMA advisory.

Work of auditor is to confirm whether Accounts are "True and Fair". Dividend decisions are left to Directors.
