DCI Kinoti probes Sh150b fraud at Kenya Power https://www.standardmedi...0b-fraud-at-kenya-power #GeorgeKinoti


Fraud been going on from 2014. Uncovered after hand shake. Sawa tu.


What the DCI is ostensibly not telling us is that a number of key gate keepers either slept on their jobs or abated these orchestrated economic crimes. For example, what is the role of Internal Audit units at Treasury and KPLC?
Have we really seen the last of such fraud?It is interesting that everytime there is an issue, another one seems to crop up and attention is shifted to the fresh "flavor of the month". Think about it...just the other day attention was focused on a governor from Rift Valley participating in uprooting tea from private land...then VP "assassination" allegations come up (The governor in question is coincidentally a strong supporter of the VP)...now KPLC (once again)...what next?

I suppose that these guys are not in a position to come and rescue us in kplc. We are in for the long haul..

Lifeline tariff was political Uhurunomics.

Kenya Power is selling power below cost...not sustainable.

Actually the net cost per unit in FY17/18 was Sh6.06. It is the cost of operations that is ballooning and which they are desperately trying to cover.

This is a worldbank supported project, to be operated by KPLC, though owned by REREC on behalf of the government, KENYA OFF GRID SOLAR PROJECT.

The Feed In Tariff (FiT) (US $/Kwh) for project above 10MW:
Hydro = 0.0825 (Kengen is paid much less for Hydro)
Wind = 0.11
Geothermal = 0.088

With Geothermal making bulk of power produced at an average of KES 9/Kwh + Transmission costs + KPLC margin + Expensive thermal costs (thermal PPAs not public) then i doubt net cost can be below KES 10/Kwh .

In-fact the bulk power purchased by large industries/consumers at around KES 8/Kwh is also below cost. Looks like the middle class subsidize everyone i.e large manufactures + Lifeline consumers.

Simple math: Pick up latest KPLC annual report [https://www.kplc.co.ke/AR2018/KPLC%20Annual%20Report%2017_12_2018_Wed.pdf]. Check for total units sold. Check for power purchase costs. Divide.

SH84bn / 7.9bn kWh = Sh10.63/kWh

It's really that simple!

Use the figure for non-fuel costs.

Use the figure for non-fuel costs.



Small correction. Units sold is less power transmission losses. Correct figure is (Power Purchase costs/Units bought)

KShs 84.1 bn / 9,962 GWh = Sh8.44/kWh <-- Note 7. Power Purchase costs


Using Non-fuel costs in 2018 for OrPower 4 Inc (geothermal) who don't have a fuel cost part.

Power Purchase cost/Units bought: KShs 11,438,108,000 /1,185 Gwh = KShs 9.65/Kwh

Point is KPLC Power Purchase costs have increased. While in 2018 cheap Hydro will subsidize their cost in 2019 there is a big bump of 310MW from LTWP at around Sh 11/Kwh + Ketraco delays penalties in connecting LTWP + increased thermal due to reduced hydrology in 2019 (failed rains). The money has to come from somewhere. If GoK does not plug in to subsidize Lifeline + industries KPLC is not sustainable.

You are using an incorrect figure to calculate the cost per unit. I reiterate; use the non-fuel costs. This is seperately stated in the main income statement (not the notes).

iishe. I am no expert in calculating the figures and the figures are not the issue. The issue is KPLC Power Purchase are up with no corresponding increase in power selling price so profits will dip. They can reduce expenses but what are the chances they will?
