@ kanobi,

I believe my calculations are consistent with the normal power generation computation procedures. The only difference is that I have annualised the figures for comaparison purposes.

@ guka

I did not mention anywhere something to the effect that this power is being stored. i will forgive you for believing that it is 'MW' that go to the Transmission Lines and not the current flowing into the conductors in the transmission line under a distinct voltage and power factor......kubafu bure.

hakuna goat!!

@Njunge,any chance someone will feel 'sufficiently philanthropic'


The thicker the thigh the sweeter the pie.

@Kaigangio

The production of electricity is not annualised,its measured in constant flow.

Hence in this case we say Mumias can supply 35MW per annum. (Thats what I meant by you cant store it)

Using your example,a nuclear power plant may give 1,000MW per hour in constant flow thoughout the year,

hence the output will be 1000x24x365 = 8,760,000 MW,now compare that to MsC

I hope that is now helpful.



I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

@Njunge,crossing my fingers,toes,etc.

Whats exciting is the changaa..

@ALL

Why I am pessimistic about MSC Turnaround Strategy.

Carbon Credits

Carbon Credits are Basically HOBBIES and part of 'The Green' Initiative that is in Vogue in The Global Corporate Circles. In Monetary Terms,Revenue earned from sale of Carbon Credits are Immaterial and their Contribution to the ProfitDownline is a Mere Token.

Power Generation

This is still on PILOT Phase and Returns are Not worth any Celebration..25 Mw is Peanut in Industrial Terms..and so are the profits from that area.There is no Guarantee of Selling all the Power Generated and Kengen is also intending to Produce more and KPLC would 1st Exhaust Kengen's Power b4 going to other Power Producers coz of the SISTERLY Relationship.

Price Per Ton

MSC has commited to increase the Price of 1ton of Raw Sugar from ksh.2,500 to kshs.2,560. That means they are going to incur ALOT in the Cost of Raw materials which will not be easily transfferable to the Consumer espeacially when many Kenyans can Take 'NDUBIA' (Sugar-Free) Tea.

Shifta/ Pastoralist in TANA Delta

Tana Sugar Project remains a Pipe-Dream as Locals borrow a leaf from Kibera and Start Uprooting Cane.

Point is,the Factors that Erode Revenues OUTWEIGH the Gains.
