	Ndeiya, Kiambu in Kenya, Africa project - 40 MW Solar Farm on 100 Acres- Lat: -1° 11' 43.461" Long: 36° 33' 59.832" 0° 58'16.55"S 36 ° 35'15.91"E


	County of Kiambu, the District is a small hillside site in Limuru facing West and the location is Ndeiya in Kenya, Africa - PPA & Permit are being negotiated and the Land had been secured. Project finance now being sourced.

Grid connection - to Sub Station is 5KM away for the proposed Solar Farm site. Information from Kenya Power they will entre into PPA and purchase solar power from the Solar Farm at a rate of 0.12 USD / Kwh as long as production capacity is between 10 and 50 megawatts.

MOU, County letters and grid connection details are being fast tracked and document submission.

Project itinerary and the milestones that we need to achieve are still being formulated.

Project main contractor / developer negotiations taking place then being appoint

Project funding also being sought from Development companies such as Conergy and the

United Nations Environment Programme - Renewable Energy Performance Platform (UNEP - REPP)

and its appointed German Frankfurt Bank we are liaising with for first mover project status and for them to assist with any funding issues.

40MW Solar Farm on 100 Acres-

Lat: -1° 11' 43.461" Long: 36° 33' 59.832"




	Conergy Engineers propose an initial design for the Solar Farm with an east and west orientation of the modules in order to maximize the installed capacity per area. This is the result (please see further information attached), which is different to my assumptions. So it is always better to consult the experts ;-

	County of Kiambu, the District is a small hillside site in Limuru facing West and the location is Ndeiya in Kenya, Africa

		In view of Kenya receiving 5.93 KWh per m sq per day or 2,164.45 KWh m sq per year the UK value of 1MW producing 1,000Mwh will be significantly higher than this by a factor of almost 3, depending on technology type used and if a tracking system is utilised.

	Ndeiya, Kiambu in Kenya, Africa project - 40 MW Solar Farm on 100 Acres (40.5ha)- Lat: -1° 11' 43.461" Long: 36° 33' 59.832"


	Conergy Engineers propose an initial design for the Solar Farm with an east and west orientation of the modules in order to maximize the installed capacity per area. This is the result (please see further information attached), which is different to my assumptions. So it is always better to consult the experts ;- Mounting System: two rows of modules in portrait at 10 degree pitch. One row each facing east and the other row directly next to it facing west



		Between the east-west rows there is a gap of 1.8m leading to a distance center-to-center of 8.4 m ON an area of 100m N-S x 168m E-W there can be 20 e-w rows with each 4 SMA STP20000TL-EE inverter, summing up to 1920 kWp DC capacity and 1600kVA AC. Leading to an overall installed capacity of ~ 40 MWp on 40.5 ha = 100 acres Specific yield per year is 1603kWh/kWp leading to an overall annual yield of 64 GWh

“Resource Ownership” concept - As Kenya develop Solar PV it is important that this development is truly Sustainable. The “Resource Ownership” concept could enable long term Sustainable Energy for the Country and not just exploited by quick buck companies. - a concept developed by Alan.J.Brewer MSc. over 18 years of PSECC’s work - a concept whereby a Province or District can receive extra funding from Renewable Energy generation by owning such things as Solar Farms & Wind turbines.

The revenue will come from the Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) paid per KW generated $millions.. GOVERNMENT OWN THE RESOURCES WITHIN YOUR BOUNDARY, Kenyalight can assist in raising all funding required for such development as Solar Farms and Wind Turbines to be owned by the Government. After Kenyalight Trial and phase one, two and three into phase four then any costs associated with building a Solar Farm or Wind Turbines are paid back from the FIT so there is no requirement for funding or cash outlay from Governments - Kenyalight supply Energy Savings & Resource Ownership loans.....

	Ndeiya - Kenyalight Trial project


	Phase One

Today Ndeiya and its environs is a well-developed outskirt providing a good residing place for many of Nairobi's workers

We wish to run a trial of 500 homes, approximately 200 of which will be stand-alone dwellings for Off Grid Solar PV systems and approximately 300 homes of 30 home units in a 1km region. i.e. 10 areas of 30 homes for Mini-Grid Solar PV systems. Karol Mwai will meet with the Chief of Ndeiya and also Joe Mwai & Carole Mwai will meet with the Governor of Ndeiya to discuss options. The programme will build into any Solar PV project a long term maintenance of systems for the people and will train local engineering students for transfer of skills to the people. The solar pv systems will be a very high quality, unlike some existing rental solar pv programmes in Kenya and we will establish in each region local community groups with training. The proposed systems will include lights, phone chargers, Solar Laptop if required, which it is hoped will endorse the Kenyan Vision for 2030.

It is estimated that this Trial project will cost in the region of $300,000 to $400,000 and it is estimated that we will obtain back approximately half that invested from offering loans to the people of Ngong in the trial project. We will then fine tune the project and eventually in the main phase project for Ndeiyaobtain 100% of the money invested.


		Off Grid for 200 Homes


	To the left is a 2.5W Indigo Solar kit below is a Kenyalight 10W system - better quality and cost.


	Solar Radiation, which is ideal for electricity generation, a FREE RESOURCE - allowing for the Resource Ownership concept to developed. Carole will also arrange for the CDT Community survey to be completed and sent to Mexico for appraisal and laise with Nairobi University for the possibility of students assisting in data collection for survey two and three - required for funding purposes.

	The Ndeiya area of Kenya receives 5.93 KWh per m sq per day or 2,164.45 KWh m sq per year

		Phase Two


	Approximately 300 homes of 30 home units in a 1km region. i.e. 10 areas of 30 homes for Mini-Grid Solar PV systems.




	Discussions are currently taking place between Kenyalight and SunnyMoney & SolarAid to see if they can assist in reaching the people of Kenya and help develop Kenyalight.


	Our Solar Kits can provide a Stepping Stone into larger Solar PV systems - 10W to 130W - funding and loans will be available..

		Phase Three

	10,000 more homes will be supplied with Solar Kits as in the case of phase one and two above.


	Phase Four


	A solar farm at Ndeiyacould be built on a 100 acre site at a cost of approximately £30 million in order to supply solar electricity to tens of thousands of more homes & schools in the region. A mini-Grid will be built to take the electricity to the homes and then individual home & school connections made possible.


	Ndeiya, Kiambu in Kenya, Africa project - 30 MW Solar Farm on 100 Acres- Lat: -1° 11' 43.461" Long: 36° 33' 59.832


	The Ndeiya area of Kenya receives 5.93 KWh per m sq per day or 2,164.45 KWh m sq per year.


	“Resource Ownership” - a concept developed by Alan.J.Brewer MSc. over 18 years of PSECC’s work.


	“Resource Ownership” - As Ndeiya kenya develops it’s Renewable Energy market it is a good opportunity for the Country to use the concept whereby the Government could own, for example solar Farms and receive revenues from the Feed-In-Tariff and not the Developers. PSECC - Kenya can provide all project funding requirements.

The villages Ndeiya in Kenya can be transformed having Solar PV Off Grid & Mini-grid systems - smallest systems are 10W - two lights and one phone charger. Larger systems are possible upto 130W for 240 V sockets for running fridges and TV and other commercial activities. The clans in the Provinces and Districts could actually “Own the Sun’s Reources”. “Resouce Ownership” Concept in action....... each District could collectively receive revenues from the Feed-In-Tariff of Kenya for every KW generated from renewable energy schemes. One such scheme would be phase four of Kenyalight - 10MW Solar Farm for .Ndeiya


	Phase Five




		Energy Crops - 1000 Ha establishment of Miscanthus Energy Crop - seeds used - 5MW Energy Plant eventually.


	Exclusive: Huge water reserve discovered in Kenya




		Dr Michal Mos


	- Kenyalight project will use this model for developing this for Kenya to bring light to to the darkness Kenya through loans.

Solar PV systems for homes

to enable phone charging, laptop charging at home and lights for study etc.


	Community training for local engineering students, school children & ongoing community support programme. Local entrepreneurs can open up commercial stores and Solar Pv can provide for other commercial activities.


	I think this man would say



		This is a very good idea
