I believe if it begins with the town - then different buildings/institutions/individuals can be inspired to produce their own electricity:
The boy in Malawi who made an electricity windmill (quite inspiring):

However; the last month's discussions of Kanjo rules rings an alarming bell; seeing as the Kenyan government wants to control everything; I don't think it will view anyone trying to compete with KPLC in favor.
They might instigate very stringent rules to discourage the production of electricity on individual terms - therefore KPLC must somehow be involved from the onset of the proposal to have each town harness its own electricity.
