Kenya Power on the spot for ignoring cheaper electricity https://www.businessdail...per-electricity-2485982 via @BD_Africa

Kenya Power is on the spot for prioritising expensive thermal power over the cheaper options such as geothermal and hydro, effectively setting up consumers for higher electricity prices.

Data by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that the power distributor last month took the highest proportion of the expensive thermal power in more than a year while reserving the lowest slot for the cheaper geothermal power.

The IPPs have to make money.


Turkwell dam is about to overflow.

Do they run the turbines at 100% or they will just let the water spill away in such a scenario?

Yes the turbines can run at 100%,transmission lines capacity is the limiting factor to evacuate all the power generated

Thermal power stations/IPPs are owned by powerful forces.

Or power overpriced electricity pact with Kenya power


While releasing Q3 results ended September 30, 2020, Ormat (Or Power) says KPLC has made all scheduled payments for the third quarter and has started reducing overdue amount in October.

Could be KPLC liquidity has improved or they pay the IPP's first leaving KenGen with the egg.
