Power producer KenGen has started discharging water from Masinga Dam into River Tana after the reservoir filled up.

Water in the dam has risen to 1,056.68 metres against a maximum level of 1,056.50 metres.

KenGen is discharging 70 cubic metres per second

If this dam had been constructed the water being spilled over would have been dammed to provide cheap power

The dam is full so is overflowing (via spillway)...just thinking it is wrong to say they are discharging as they really can't keep the water as it is full. Discharging would mean they have control which they don't.

Also, instead of letting it spill away, i presume they are generating 100% because the spillway is 'waste'

Masinga is the SMALLEST generator in the 7-Forks system. Only 40MW - two units of 20MW each. Puny little things!

Normal max flow rate is about 100,000L per second. Now spilling an additional 70,000L per second via spillway.

Mr Keter said hydro and geothermal power now account for about 90 per cent of the power being fed into the grid, from 69.34 per cent in February.

Given the current scenario and probably with a simulation of the remaining part of this year, and considering the past as a known fact, how well could we project the endings

There will be no major change in the FY earnings vis a vis last year.
Only major change will maybe issuance of a 20-22 cents dividend in the full year earnings

In a statement to local news, KenGen Managing Director Rebecca Miano said that the 168 MW Olkaria V geothermal power project is on track and construction is 40% complete. She gave that update as part of KenGen’s G2G Innovation seminar that brings together 500 KenGen employees and local and international stakeholders to deliberate and discuss innovative ideas. According to KenGen, it is through these seminars that the concept of geothermal spa was conceived. Other concepts that were hatched include the establishment of KenGen Industrial Park, whose development is at advanced stages.

The Sh40 billion (USD 400 million) Olkaria V project is expected to be commissioned by July 1, 2019 producing 168 MW. She said this is part KenGen’s ambitious green energy project aimed at delivering an additional 720 MW to the current 1,631 MW of renewable energy by 2020.

One of the worst performing counters this year.
It's down 28.6% since January.

But why though? Don't get me wrong I am happy with the price decline as I plan on gorging myself soon but what's the reason for the fall?
If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky that would be like the splendour of the mighty one.
