POWER SUPPLY IN MOMBASA COUNTY POWER GRID POWER GENERATION IN KENYA Geothermal power is very cost- Total installed capacity: 2,299 MW effective. Kenya was the first Total demand :1,512 MW African country to build geothermal energy sources. By 2030, Kenya aims to have 5,530 MW of geothermal power or 26% of total capacity. This will make it Kenya's largest source of electricity clean energy by 2030. POWER GENERATION IN MOMBASA 1. Kipevu Power Plant Kipevu I: 75MW Kipevu II: 74MW Kipevu III: 120MW 2. Raibai Power Plant: 90MW Total Generation: 359MW Peak demand: 225MW The Bulk Supply Point (BSP) substations in Mombasa: • Kipevu Hill Top 90MVA • New Bamburi 68MVA • Rabai 90MVA. The percentage of population access to electricity is 75%, mainly in Mvita sub-county, Nyali sub-county and Jomvu sub-county INTERRUPTION The average number of interruption power per month is 7.4 times with the total time of 17 hours in Coast region as well as Mombasa County. CAUSE OF INTERRUPTION Weak distribution network characterized by limited redundancy and aging High distribution system losses TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS Installation of new substations to improve power supply to the load with density of 500 m to longest customer. Replace the low voltage bare cable by ABC cable Installation of new substations to improve power supply to the load with maximum of 500 m to the customer. WHY DID KENYA POWER NOT DO THAT? Power supply coverage in rural area is low Low load growth and scattered nature of population in rural areas High costs of rural electrification projects Cheap tariff for low load user No benefit No fund Need support from GoK or others SOLUTIONS In medium-term: Details design for upgrade power supply in Mombasa County. With the Estimated value of the project, calling for investment of organizations GoK warrants credit loans for Kenya Power. In long-term: Like other developing countries, while Kenya’s economic development will lead to higher power consumers and Kenya Power will be profitable. At that time, banks will come to ask the co- operative with Kenya Power. ASANTE SANA.
