6、D 2020 Part of BMIs Industry Report set and review electricity tariffs; and enforce safety and environmental regulations in the power sector. ERC also safeguards the interests of electricity consumers. The Ministry of Energy is responsible for overall policy formulation in the energy sector. It also
7、 grants and revokes generation and distribution licences upon recommendation of the ERC. It is also involved in settlement of disputes arising from parties aggrieved by ERC decisions. Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC) is responsible for the transmission, distribution and retail of elec
8、tricity throughout Kenya. KPLC owns and operates the national transmission and distribution grid, and retails electricity to customers throughout Kenya. KPLC buys bulk power from KenGen and from independent power producers (IPPs) such as IberAfrica. KPLC sells electricity to about 980,000 customers.
9、 The majority shareholder in KPLC is the government and its institutions, while the rest is owned by private shareholders. Before a major power sector restructuring in 1997, KPLC also managed all generating stations on behalf of the state. At present, KPLC only manages some diesel-fired stations tha
10、t are owned by the government, and that are isolated from the national grid. KPLC has a contractual arrangement with Uganda Electricity Transmission Company under which it can purchase up to 20MW of power every day. The contract is reviewed periodically to take into account changing circumstances. K
11、PLC is seeking to raise KES9.5bn (US$119mn) from a rights issue. KPLC was to open the rights issue in December 2010. The government did not take part in the issue, leaving it with a 50.1% stake. KPLC also said it was aiming to raise KES7-10bn to upgrade its grid. State-controlled KenGen manages all
12、public power generation facilities. It generates and sells electricity in bulk to KPLC. The company is also responsible for developing new public sector generation facilities to meet increased demand. KenGen is the leading power generator in Kenya, producing about 80% of electricity consumed in the
13、country. The company utilises various sources, ranging from hydro, geothermal, thermal and wind. Hydro is the leading source, with an installed capacity of 677MW, which is 72.3% of the companys installed capacity. KenGen is in direct competition with four IPPS that between them produce about 18% of
14、the countrys power. In 2006, the government offered 30% of its shares in KenGen for sale to the public through an initial public offer (IPO). The KenGen shares were listed on the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) in May 2006. Kenya Power Report Q3 2011 Business Monitor International Ltd Page 15 It was re
15、ported in August 2010 that KenGen is considering selling a 19% stake to a strategic investor in order to reduce the governments remaining 70% holding. The companys managing director, Eddy Njoroge, said that the company would invest the cash in energy generation projects, as part of a drive to increa
16、se capacity in order to meet a huge power deficit in the country. According to Njoroge, the company aims to invest US$4.59bn in generation projects by 2018/19. Reform of the power sector commenced in the early 1990s and has made steady progress. The Electric Power Act in 1997 and the Energy Act in 2
17、006 accelerated the reform by creating an autonomous regulatory body, unbundling electricity utilities to promote more private investment in generation and reviewing tariffs to improve the financial performance of power companies. The Electric Power Act stipulates the relationships between these key
18、 players and other stakeholders such as consumers and the government. The act further provides direction on the development of future power systems in Kenya. Generation, transmission and distribution are managed separately by three different state companies. Four IPPs and an Emergency Power Producer
19、 (EPP) support generation mainly through thermal plants, accounting for 20% of total power generated. The government promulgated an ambitious target to connect 1mn households within five years, so more public and private investment is expected to develop reliable and affordable supply in order to ac
20、hieve the goal. The Rural Electrification Fund was set up in 1973 and was coordinated by the Ministry of Energy through an ad hoc committee until 2007, when the Rural Electrification Authority was established. The governments policy objectives are to expand access to electricity as a means of promot
21、ing sustainable socioeconomic development for rural communities. The governments goal was to provide electricity to about 20% of the rural population by 2010. It has admitted recently that it will miss this target. Power Transmission Electricity serves less than 20% of Kenyan households, including h
22、alf of urban homes and just 4% of rural residences. Extending the supply grid to those who have no access to electricity is a major policy. The transmission networks run across the southern part of Kenya from coastal to western areas through the central capital, totalling some 41,000km in 2008. The
23、lines also connect neighbouring countries including Uganda and Tanzania in order to trade power. There is also to be an interconnection with Ethiopia. In Kenya, electricity is generated at between 11kV and 15kV. The electricity is then stepped up to 220kV or 132kV for transmission to sub-stations. I
24、t is then stepped down to 132kV, 66kV, 33kV and 11kV at Kenya Power Report Q3 2011 Business Monitor International Ltd Page 16 various feeder points for distribution to consumers. Large industrial and commercial customers are supplied at these high voltages. The electricity is stepped down to 415v/24
