I recommend a strong drink for you!
1) They can't raise prices till 2012 when it comes up for review... And it is an election year!
2) The key is INCREASE in supply from KenGen, IPPs, etc... Unfortunately, the cheapest source is KenGen's hydro but rain dependent!
3) Efficiencies. Better technical capacity means lower losses. Monitoring should have improved after fibre-optics were installed.
4) Theft/Vandalism. KPLC is installing (more expensive) 'dry' transformers to keep away crooks!
5) IMHO, I think 25/- EPS (after dilution of Preference Shares) means it is at a decent PER.
