Where did you get that info? Do you have a link to the balance sheet?

KPLC isn't a dividend payer coz it needs cash to upgrade the grid. In any case, the cash might be temporary while it waits before paying for Work-in-Progress. KPLC has huge liabilities too.


If I may ask, what is the work of KETRACO and how is it funded?

KETRACO is funded by GoK (& multilateral donors) and is supposed to develop the high voltage & long distance interconnections between different producers and markets eg Lake Turkana Wind to Nairobi.

KPLC builds and maintains the grids into the urban/rural areas from the sub-stations that receive power from KETRACO. Let's call it 'distribution' for now. In Nairobi, the largest market, KPLC has been upgrading transformers, installing new lines/connections/meters and strengthening the grid.

KENGEN produces. KETRACO transports. KPLC distributes. [This is a simplified explanation]

@VVS, here >>> http://www.kplc.co.ke/img/full/...2030TH%20JUNE%202015.pdf

@Sparkly, 0/30 final dividend plus 0/20 interim dividend is good. As @VVS says, the 28.2B will be used in coming year in expanding/upgrading grid

@mwekezaji - Thanks. The cash is as a result of borrowing. The Cashflow statement shows substantial financing inflows. I expect the cash to leave as new projects are brought online or completed.

@Jerry - KPLC pays KETRACO a fee to use the transmission lines. There are minimum (capacity) charges as well as 'step' charges. This cost is passed onto consumers. I believe KETRACO is also subsidized i.e. it is not profitable at the moment.

@eynands - After the AGM [probably in Dec]. They are quite efficient.

kplc is jinxed.... in a non-fuel backed operations year(33.34% decrease in fuel related revenues and 18.87% decline in fuel costs), and with enhanced cleaner energy uptake(24.3% increase in non fuel revenues), yr/yr operating margins are constant or dwindling. kplc has failed kengens enhanced geo power uptake. cheaper geo power in 2nd half was sold to mars and the pay check stolen by the ppp's and govas alien space shuttle crew. so saddening. Dr chewmo, what crappy distribution efficiency are u talking about or its all in your elementally maths or its the interpreter's error. if an inverse increase/ decrease in uptake of non fuel backed/ fuel backed power does not clearly point out that non fuel power sources turns a better profit margin then someone explain to me where did the chums go? GDC(Geo. Dev.Corpn) should probably be discouraged from exploring expensive geo power and start doing diesel powered plants and save Kenyans yr/yr power blackouts and tariff hikes.
yes, kplc sold more power units since approximately (13bs previously buying expensive power now is buying cheaper power units. but its even more ridiculous to note that more cheaper power was more expensively sold after hike of tariffs but its all translated into narda increment in revenues/ profit margins?
dr chewmo should tell us that fuel based revenues decreased aslo becoz of increased distribution inefficiencies and further tell us how these two differently generated power are applied to the grid.
or should we say kplc is doing fuels with ohan's and forex n lending money with mwang's?
non fuel -->(77,836- 62,597=15.239)===>distribution efficiency!!!!, fuel-->(25,584 - 38,377=-12.793 not 15 ofcoarse since fuel is cheaper improving returns per working capital unit)===> means????,
non fuel cost--->(44,460-30,659)=13.801===>
Fuel costs 25,835 - 38,973=-13.138===>
a 30% decline in fuel revenue costs implies almost 50% increase in non fuel revenue costs???? and a miserly 24.3% increase in non fuel revenue against
yr n june 15 /yr n june 15/ change/ % change
REVENUES
non fuel 77,836 62,597 15,239 24.34%
fuel 25,584 38,377 -12,793 -33.34%

COSTS
non fuel 44,460 30,659 13,801 45.01%
fuel 25,835 38,973 -13,138 -33.71%
a 33.71% reduction in fuel related costs results in 45% increase in costs of non fuel revenues resulting in a measurable 2% marginal increment in non fuel revenues against total revenue (14%-12%). where is the pay check for net power exports.
or do i say simulation or a surgeons knife was at work?

If anyone can translate @muandiwambeu tirade into the Queen's English, please do so. I believe there are interesting points in the arguments but it's like pulling teeth.
