Yes.

If one is a shareholder who suffered through low returns since the Rights Issue due to political machinations by the Executive. This return is piddling when looked at over a 5 year perspective.

And there's a low dividend payout as well because the cash is used to strengthen the grid with no guarantee the electricity will not be stolen by the customers.

There will be a low REAL (cash) return on investment for the foreseeable future as interest payments increase with annual KES 15-20bn CAPEX. In addition, KPLC guarantees off-take [capacity charges] from IPPs, KenGen, etc for all the new projects coming in. If the off-take is poor (or technical/commercial losses) then KPLC bears the cost/risk.

Electricity sales grew by 5.5% from 3093 GwH to 4320 GWH.
The huge jump was due to higher electricity tariffs due to increment in fixed charge and per unit cost

Non current liabilities grew by 38bn from 76bn to 114bn. This explains the additional 10.4bn cash generated from financing activities.

@othelo;
As the year was closing Kenya power was receiving loans and it seems from the 40bn they received 10.4bn is the amount that has been used in grid expansion and modernization.
The other amount is either sitting at the bank or in government bills
