Energy The largest share of Kenya’s electricity supply comes from hydroelectric stations at dams along the upper Tana River, as well as the Turkwel George Dam in the west. A petroleum-fired plant on the coast, geothermal facilities at Olkaria (near Nairobi), and electricity imported from Uganda make up the rest of the supply. Kenya’s installed capacity stood at 1,142 MW a year between 2001 and 2003. The state-owned Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), established in 1997 under the name of Kenya Power Company, handles the generation of electricity, while the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), which is slated for privatization, handles transmission and distribution. Shortfalls of electricity occur periodically, when drought reduces water flow. In 1997 and 2000, for example, drought prompted severe power rationing, with economically damaging 12-hour blackouts. Frequent outages, as well as high cost, remain serious obstacles to economic activity. Tax and other concessions are planned to encourage investment in hydroelectricity and in Geothermal Energy , in which Kenya is a pioneer. The government plans to open two new power stations in 2008, Sondu Miriu (hydroelectric) and Olkaria IV (geothermal), but power demand growth is strong, and demand is still expected to outpace supply during periods of drought. Kenya has recently found some hydrocarbon reserves on its semi arid northern region of Turkana after several decades of intermittent exploration. Prospecting also continues off Kenya’s shore. In the meantime, Kenya currently imports all crude petroleum requirements. Petroleum accounts for 20 to 25 percent of the national import bill. Kenya Petroleum Refineries—a 50:50 joint venture between the government and several oil majors—operates the country’s sole oil refinery in Mombasa , which currently meets 60 percent of local demand for petroleum products. In 2004 oil consumption was estimated at 55,000 barrels (8,700 m3) a day. Most of the Mombasa refinery’s production is transported via Kenya’s Mombasa–Nairobi pipeline. |

The Regional Office Nairobi of Frankfurt School of Finance & Management contacted PSECC for assistance and exchange of information.. Currently, Frankfurt School is conducting a market study on behalf of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the UNEP in order to identify challenges and opportunities for small scale renewable energy investments in Kenya and elsewhere. The study will eventually give recommendations for an upcoming financing facility called The Renewable Energy Performance Platform (REPP). The REPP will support first mover projects via two separate, complementary facilities: 1) the Performance Facility that will offer risk mitigation and output-based performance payments to RE/EE projects, and 2) a Debt Facility that will provide subordinated and senior debts. In addition, a Technical Assistance Programme will be developed within the overall Platform. We conducted our initial assessment for Kenya in December 2012 and identified PV mini-grids and especially rural/village micro-grids as a viable option to receive REPP support. Consequently, I am very interested in your work and would highly appreciate if we could have an exchange of information.. |
