Lake Turkana Wind Power project (LTWP) will now sell electricity to Kenya Power at a 50 per cent discounted rate, it has emerged. The arrangement, however, comes with a rider that the power distributor’s purchases from the firm’s Marsabit wind farm will have to cross a certain threshold.
This could undercut other power producers as a 50 per cent discount would reduce the per unit cost of electricity to about Sh4.4 from Sh8.8 (7.53 Euro cents).
t is also comparable to the cost of hydroelectricity, currently the cheapest, at about Sh3 and geothermal at Sh7 per unit. Kenya Power will, however, have to purchase close to 1.5 billion units of electricity before it can start to enjoy the 50 per cent discount on the current tariff. According to LTWP, at the current rate of power generation by the plant and purchase trends by Kenya Power, the electricity distributor can cross the threshold in 10 months. “Whenever power purchase reaches 1.46 terawatt hours at any point during the year (about 1.46 billion kilowatt-hours), we will sell electricity to Kenya Power at half the price for the remainder of the year,” said Rizwan Fazal director at LTWP.
“In the interest of that, KPLC should try and reach this threshold as quickly as possible.” At a rate of Sh8.8 per unit, it would mean the wind plant will have earned more than Sh11.2 billion per year before it can start selling power at the discounted tariff. It is not clear whether Kenya Power would pass the benefits to power consumers considering the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with LTWP sets the tariff at Sh8.8 per KWh. There are, however, clauses on the discount once the 1.46 billion KWh threshold is achieved.


The PPA was 'take or pay'so not sure why there is a target for KPLC to reach the 1.46 billion Kwh threshold..they are bound to buy all the power LTWP generates (unless there has been a renegotiation of PPA)


Due to fluctuating wind power i.e one moment is generating 200Mw when windspeed is high and next moment is generating 50Mw when wind speed low KPLC has to maintain a 'spinning reserve i.e contract a diesel generator' to be running their diesel engines to be able to cover the shortfall in a moments notice so as not to destabilize the grid.... now this spinning reserve has a cost!


The take or pay (Deemed level of generation) is at 55% load factor, which translates to 1.445 billion units per year. Above these units, KPLC is not obligated to buy from LTWP...The current wind speed is higher than originally thought, so LTWP has shown that they are able to do around 66% load factor...thus any units above 1.445 billion threshold is not take or pay


Thanks KaunganaDoDo for the detailed analysis.So here LTWP has seen a way of making more money from the additional wind speed.


Exactly...They are shrewd guys LTWP...The wind speed is immense , they could have underestimated the speed to their advantage...if the load factor was set at 66%, the tariff would be much lower

Any idea why they have priced the additional units at half-price?

These sort of loans are often renewed and their Baba Bailout is always there to help out. All said and done, it remains tough for KPLC.

The new management should go for a Big Bath accounting move to clean up the books and give themselves a cushion to make themselves look good in the future.
