if we all go back to the rudiments, it is yur responsibility sir. i choose to look at it this way, GOK is able (or in this case not able) to give everyone 3Kw at Ksh 1000, if you need 15KW its up to you to figure out how youre going to accomplish it. after all, its all a matter of affordaility. if you live in thur di buor and need 3 phase elec, and are willing to pay for the line and transformers and all, go on and do it. theyll happily have you connected. that you are in thurdibuor does not make it mandatory for you to access the service, at that point 3phase in thurdibuor is not viable, same as the blackouts and all. simply put, currently the priority is connecting a critical mass, other teething issues notwithstanding. after all, they are installing SCADA systems all over to improve their QOS...

@Areba, am going to need to shutdown the laptop shortly. The problem is not my mentality and yes many countries out there offer green incentives to their citizens, including supplying power back to the national grid when not in use. Power generation is not my responsibility, power usage is thus most equipment are either energy saving or low energy. If you believe power generation is my responsibility, please do a 15KVA cost sheet and lets discuss who will finance the entire rollout . Eventually I'll need to make a decision, either move house or create my own medium load invertor system ( again ) when the financials make sense. In the meantime, I still keep demanding the KPLC do a better job, including removing the hurdles of progress whether in management or otherwise.
Rgds.

@aki i think with the mentality like that (someone else needs to pay for this damn green business), were going nowhere. there are amazing benefits of going green, benefits that make sense not only to the treehugger types. for instance, NO BLACKOUTS... and better life for your electronics. FYI, we all pay taxes so we get quality, affordable services, last time i checked though, its a willing buyer, willing seller business.
