There must be a breakthrough in solar power capture and or storage.

That's the only reason why a KShs 75B turnover firm would invest KShs 2.2B an year for 10 years to offset an item of operating costs.

An average of 2.2bn/year is significant but not overly huge for EABL assuming it is spread out over 10 years and it gets:
- Annual savings will offset some of the 2.2bn.
- Depreciation provides a tax shield.
- Carbon credits?
- Inflation (2.2bn in 2022 > 2.2bn in 2032)

Finally, the 1H21 net turnover was 44.5bn (lower than pre-COVID 1H20) so FY21 is likely to be 80-85bn.

22% Gross Margin of 5bn = 1.1bn which covers 50% of the average CAPEX.
22% Gross Margin of 10bn = 2.2bn which covers 100% of the average CAPEX


In addition, there is additional benefit in being free of this company which is always in the grip of looters and mismanagement. Currently, perhaps because it is broke, they are busy disconnecting large blocks of users including the ones who have paid, then brazenly telling those who have paid, that they should help pressure the others to pay before they reconnect. Instead of disconnecting at individual cutouts, they disconnect at transformers and poles. They are not able to read the signs of the times and will help accelerate adoption of alternative sources of power. Useless,

Energy regime change long overdue
Quote:
The other day, a reader reached out to provide me with documents from the Companies’ Registry to show me that a member of the Kenya Electricity Workers Union (Ketawu) was a shareholder in one of the leading IPPs, arguing that this was a clear case of conflict of interest.

The union has just put out a statement calling for the removal from office of the board of Kenya Power that includes three members of the John Ngumi-led committee that has been at the forefront of calling for renegotiation of power purchase agreements.

Quote:
Indeed the main reason and motive for the spirited campaign to remove the current Kenya Power board members is because they have been trying to disrupt the networks that have captured the company by turning its supply chain into a veritable source of inexhaustible largesse.

Dissapointing as usual. Ruined by the income tax and lack of dividend.

You actually expect a company with Kes 110 billion in debt to pay a dividend?

Most likely the government will restructure some of this debt into equity and in so doing diluting the minority shareholders. Parastatals such as KPLC exist to provide an essential social service, profit well connected suppliers and provide jobs to the well connected. They are not ran to make a profit.

Exactly!
How would a creditor who is being asked to restructure the loan feel when dividends are paid but the loan is not being serviced? Shame on you

That doesn't answer the question. Until the loans are being regularly/properly serviced, the lenders will not look kindly upon dividends. Some loans have a provision that restricts dividends when loans are under not performing.

These companies on the NSE surely know how to "dart" Kenyans. They promise all the goodies and expectations we all want to hear but delivery = 0Sad Sad Problem is we all know the scam but keep falling into the trap.
