Wind revenue at 239 Million in 2015 & 2016. Wind energy is paid as you generate i.e no capacity charge. I find it interesting (suspect) that wind at Ngong hills in 2015 June - Dec blew at same rate as 2016 June - Dec

Garissa & Mpeketoni thermal generation contributed very little so this shouldn't be reason for much reduction in revenue. Embakasi Gas turbine was relocated to Muhoroni to replace Aggreko Emergency power for voltage stabilisation in West Kenya..so again end of PPP of Embakasi GT should be a reason for reduced profit..

reduced Hydro generation due to weather variance and rising costs (employee??) is more like reason for reduced profitability.

Kibaki head hunted Njoroge to turn around Kengen. I lost hope in Albert Mugo..Next MD will be a crony of UhuRuto so basically no much hope of Kengen rising going forward.

Which industry? With cement factories (the highest consumers of electricity) producing more cement, the elec sales should have gone up right? EverReady never produced anything substantial. Retired diesel generators should have reflected good for the bottom line.

The Finance Director is a very bright and good candidate if not top for the CEO position.
He was headhunted by Eddy Njoroge and poached from KQ (Obiero apana kasilika)
But due to politics of Uhuruto and his tribe he can't be given the position

According to half year report the reduced electricity revenue was due to fixing of machine breakdowns which affected some power plants and scheduled statutory inspections

Reduced revenues is a clear indication Albert Mugo was not up to the task.Hopefuly the next ceo will steer the company ahead into vibrancy.

I wouldn't blame is as much.The economy isn't growing vibrantly as during the days of Eddy Njoroge.
Another issue maybe too many outages on kenya power network will have a reflection on KENGEN.
FIX THE ECONOMY FIRST AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS/GOODIES WILL FOLLOW

Look at the revenue breakdown.

Electricity revenue was flat.

Difference is lower steam revenue and commercial drilling revenue.

Core business is steady.
Life is short. Live passionately.
