On Kenya power and lightening reliability
by William Muriithi 21 Dec '17

Hi guys and girls, I read this article below yesterday and it got me thinking how Uhuru's policy in electrification, while initially looked nice is bound to leave the country in a poorer state way past his time in office. I think the only way KPLC will ever recover the investment it has put down is from the government - essentially tax. Have no problem with tax, but this is a white elephant, not something to take the country forward. https://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21732540-power-and-pe… This paragraph sum up at what the problem with Uhuru's strategy on electrification. Imagine if all that money wasted on connection were invested in solar panels. Most of those people would actually be using electricity instead of charcoal stoves and kerosene lamps as it would be cheaper. Quote: Bringing electricity to subsistence farmers certainly improves their lot. But it is not cheap: a single connection in Kenya can cost nearly $2,500. And since few people in rural areas can afford to buy power-hungry appliances such as fridges or airconditioners, there is little chance that utilities will make much of a return on their investment. For people in rural areas, off-grid power such as solar panels or small hydroelectric systems may be a better option. Abandoning the attempt to connect them to the grid would mean more money to invest in urban areas. End quote: And this is the sad consequence, basically no investment in manufacturing as no one can count of KPLC providing power in a sustainable manner. Really sad as Africa can win manufacturing business as China is getting rich and labour becoming expensive. Quote: Worldwide, power consumption is strongly correlated to GDP, but in Africa most countries use less power than their incomes would predict. That is largely because Africa has so little manufacturing and heavy industry. If electrification programmes continue to focus on rural areas, utilities may be too cash-strapped to maintain the grid where it really matters: in cities and industrial regions where investors are building factories. Without industrialisation and good jobs, few Africans will be able to afford much more electricity. That is real powerlessness. End quote: Regards, William
