World Bank gave kenya 0.5B dollar - loan - and grants - but basically everyone connected for "free" - repay the loan - over long period of time - monthly about 500 shs.
I don't know why KPLC would complain when you're being added 4-5Million more customers.
KPLC problem is they have signed power agreements without any idea how to sell excess power.
Worldwide - household do not consume power - it's upon KPLC to find out why companies are opting to generate their own power - and to sell them power cheaply.
Nearly every big manufacturer in kenya has their own power plant.
I am in the process of generating my own power in our farm because I realize to go into manufacturing I need to do this.
I want to get into othordox/green tea manufacturing - and the first thing I realize - energy will kill me - either expensive firewood or electricity - and so I am basically doing KPLC job.
KPLC will remain with expensive idle capacity until it can sit down with manufacturers and power producers - and agree on a win-win.
It also make sense now to approach SGR - get electrification - could use some of excess power.
During this Corona period - I got boys in the village to do civil work; Kazi Mtaani.
So which corporation took the bebt in its balance sheet?
