The University of Nairobi and Professor Kima Sepphen Gitahi has been approached to offer support to the Kenyalight project in Ngong District. Hopefully Students wil become involved with this project and also conduct surveys for Kenyalight.

Electricity demand in the country is significantly rising mainly due to the accelerated productive investment and increasing population. Historically, energy demand is positively correlated with economic and population growth rates. Currently the electricity demand is 1,191 MW against an effective installed capacity of 1,429 MW under normal hydrology. This gives a reserve margin of 238 MW or 20% of demand. However during low hydrology, the reserve margin diminishes necessitating load shedding and procurement of expensive emergency power. The peak load is projected to grow to about 2,500MW by 2015 and 15,000 MW by 2030. To meet this demand, the projected installed capacity should increase gradually to 19,169 MW by 2030.
