Excellent. Demand elasticity for segments that actually exist i.e Domestic & Small Commercial. Big 4 manufacturing is a hoax!! Furthermore, less investment in new production.

Who absorbs the loss?

Big four was a nonstarter from the get go. Policy making is shockingly absurd.

It's not really a loss; it's a wake up call to 'KPHellC' to start managing its costs efficiently and stem corruption at all levels.

Lakini si wamerudi, didn't take long ......


We wish to inform our customers that following successful implementation of the new tariffs, vending for prepaid tokens has resumed. Thank you for your support.

The board also needs to be disbanded,the chairman is a frontman of a very vocal MP from North Eastern.
he has eaten from the company including the bone marrow

The Chairman is a Saint...he just came last December...he is the man to save them. He is the one with the broom. Plus he is a UK man, he doesn't take instructions from Harambee House B or Annex. And he is not a friend to the vocal MP from Garissa. The MP wanted someone else...Clanism

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 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
