Woohoo!

Kusema na kutenda

The government is truly firing on all cylinders now. Things are now reaching critical mass: war on impunity, infrastructure boom, SGR eventual completion to Kisumu. Can't wait for more development ahead!

Just this week alone Llongyani line will be energised, pumping in well over 300MW into the gird. The sweetest part of it is that and it has fiber optic link. Pray Which means fibre will be nywee in the entire region once Ethiopia and SSD are connected. Ketraco will also have a decent income source without having to depend on treasury.

Two new geothermal projects announced as in the pipeline

JKIA to Kangemi expressway (and so much more) negotiated for in China as part of the $60B goodies allocated during FOCAC!

Dustbowl is benefitting big from all these initiatives Drool

Roads construction continues at rapid clip

God bless Kenya!

Hizo lazima ziangushwe.... I think people thought the road will never be expanded hence encroached seriously even that Siron place looks suspect... Watu wataumia...

Chinese Premier Xi Jinping, who has been criticised for his approach of overburdening Africa with unsustainable debt, however, was said to have deferred a decision on President Uhuru’s request for a grant of half of the Sh380 billion that the project will cost.


No cause for alarm. These are just negotiating tactics to get the best deal. Remember that the One Belt One Road Initiative is actually China's baby. For us in Kenya, since 60-70% of Mombasa cargo imported terminates in Nairobi (the rest to EAC and beyond), and we plan Industrial parks in Olkaria (cheap geothermal power supply) and Suswa, Phase 2A would be adequate for our needs even if it does not end up in Kisumu. China has more of a vested interest in extending the line to not just Uganda and Rwanda-Burundi but to the rich mineral pickings of DRC. So let them shoulder some of the burden as this is a REGIONAL project in China's strategic interest. I am sure by the time 2A is ready, an amicable solution will be in place that will be a win-win for all parties.

Dont be misled into thinking that the LOIANGALANI SUSWA line has been energized!!!...day dream...the CS took journalists there to fool them..only one circuit is complete....the line is a double circuit 400KV . The generator(LTWP) can not eveacuate power through the single cirtuit while works still ongoing on the other circuit. Siemens are still testing the Teriminal susbstations...the 300MW are not coming cheap...there will be additional passthrough costs to the consumers....Intergration of intermittent sources of energy into the grid will be expensive ....the earliest the line will be commissioned is End of September 2018...EARLIEST

Which is fine too. Doesn't make much of a difference to me. The important thing is that LTWP will finally come online and the power pools in the region can finally start to get integrated. Will be lovely to be able to buy cheap power from GERD once they are done. Or sell some overcapacity to Rwanda, Tanzania or even as far as Zambia once all our power pools are connected! And hopefully, on the local front, power blackouts will diminish drastically with time. Good times ahead in the coming years IMHO

Ericsson, I don't recall engaging you in any "debate" in fact all I see from you is cryptic one liners of no content worth responding to in almost all of your posts Laughing out loudly

Good and Poor analogy.....the LOIANGALANI SUSWA LINE will not form part of the inegration...There is a parralel line 500 KV DC line from ethiopia to Suswa then to the ketraco lines all the way to TZ...There is nothing like cheap power that will come...LTWP will cause the power yield to increase from around 11.9 shillings to 14 shillings(what you are paying now, why the tariffs were increased last month)....The PPA with rwanda is only 30MW
