KNBS statistics for Generation and Consumption of Electricity October 2018:
Generation: 969.05 Gwh
Total KP Sales: 737.71 Gwh
i.e 23.87% Power losses. There has been a lot of investment in improving the power distribution by building substations to minimize these losses but they are increasing. What gives? OR is there a mismatch in generation Vs consumption?
LTWP wind is at 75.47 Gwh and all the turbines were not running by end of October 2018. This is really a game changer in Kenya's power market.
For the LTWP, i believe KPLC has a billing power meter at Turkana (buy @KES 8/kwh) but the power is transmitted to load center in Nairobi (to sell @KES 10/Kwh) some ~600Km so the transmission power losses must be huge. Is KPLC's PPAs already doomed it to making losses?
